Copper Gluconate

Copper Gluconate carries a source-backed screening score of 3/5 and appears in 620 indexed US food products.

Source-backed answer

Copper Gluconate appears in 620 catalogued products. CSPI has no rating attached in this snapshot. Its FDA SAFFA status is “GRAS.” Those source labels describe the ingredient; they do not establish whether a particular product, dose, allergy, or diet is safe.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 620 products listing it (mean slot 30.8). Copper Gluconate 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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Audit the co-occurring flags first

56.1% 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 Gluconate as the trigger. Open records such as 100 calories protein nutrition shake; 310 Chocolate Bliss Shake | 310 Nutrition; 6 backyard bbq boneless patties and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 87.9/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 65% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

56.1% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 617 of 620 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Copper Gluconate

Across the 620 products on this site that list Copper Gluconate, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 7.7x more often with Copper Gluconate than in the catalogue at large.

Questions readers ask about Copper Gluconate

How should I read safety signals when Copper Gluconate sits in heavily flagged products?

56.1% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Copper Gluconate is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Copper Gluconate scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "GRAS". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.

Which product shelves show up most often with Copper Gluconate?

Copper Gluconate ranks in the top decile by product count (#913 of 247,206), appearing in 620 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

What function does Copper Gluconate serve when it appears beside other flagged additives?

Copper Gluconate is recorded as a nutrient supplement, synergist in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
