Dried Cranberries

Dried Cranberries appears in 4,365 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

Dried Cranberries appears in 4,365 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.

Dried Cranberries sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#195 / 247,206)

Typical depth in an ingredient list
39%
Averaged label depth puts Dried Cranberries in the upper half of the list (39% of list length, mean slot 9.8). 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.

Reading this ingredient record

Use prevalence before concern

Only 8.8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Dried Cranberries spans 1180 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 100% Natural Fruit And Nutty Layered Granola Bar; 100% Natural Granola With Cranberry, Cherries, Almonds & Pecans; 100% natural trail mix, cran-beary almond when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.5/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

1180 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 2759 of 4179 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Dried Cranberries

Across the 4,365 products on this site that list Dried Cranberries, 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.
