Co2
Co2 appears in 481 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
Co2 appears in 481 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.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.
Co2 sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#1,064 / 247,206)
- Usage rank

- 54%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 481 products listing it (mean slot 2.0). Co2 usually falls in the lower half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.
Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 0.2% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Co2 spans 13 named brands and is led by the Beverages group. Start with Black Cherry Flavor Sparkling Natural Spring Water, Black Cherry; Black Cherry Flavor Sparkling Natural Spring Water, Black Cherry; Black Cherry Flavor Sparkling Natural Spring Water, Black Cherry when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 100.0/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
13 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 445 of 479 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.

Co2 — common follow-ups
Why is there no FDA/CSPI verdict on Co2? ▼
This snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to Co2, so PlainFoodSafe does not present a source-backed safety verdict. The page reports catalog prevalence (#1,064 of 247,206 ingredients) and label position instead.
Which product shelves show up most often with Co2? ▼
