Cider Vinegar
Cider Vinegar appears in 1,162 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Cider Vinegar appears in 1,162 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 241 of 1162 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 100% natural honey dijon mustard, honey dijon; 12 mini crabcakes; 313 Foodie Sauce to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 5–100 score range to Cider Vinegar itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Condiments supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
241 of 1,162 linked records have some flagged component
All 1134 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 5–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
