Copper Amino Acid Chelate
Copper Amino Acid Chelate appears in 67 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
Copper Amino Acid Chelate appears in 67 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.
What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
59.7% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Copper Amino Acid Chelate as the trigger. Open records such as ALL-IN-ONE NUTRITION SHAKE; Beef & Bison Recipe; Brio, Frozen Dairy Dessert, Spring Strawberry and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 80.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 59% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
59.7% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 64 of 65 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
Copper Amino Acid Chelate sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#4,097 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #4,097
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 33 others that also appear in exactly 67 products, listed in more products than 98.3% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 59%
- Averaged label depth puts Copper Amino Acid Chelate in the lower half of the list (59% of list length, mean slot 29.9). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.
What else is usually in the same product as Copper Amino Acid Chelate
Across the 67 products on this site that list Copper Amino Acid Chelate, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. Sucralose shows up about 21x more often with Copper Amino Acid Chelate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Copper Amino Acid Chelate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|

| Carrageenan | 31 | 46.3% | 4.5% |
Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.
