Cranberry Extract

Cranberry Extract appears in 40 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

Cranberry Extract appears in 40 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 40 products listing it (mean slot 12.9). Cranberry Extract 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.

How to use this page

Use prevalence before concern

Only 17.5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Cranberry Extract spans 14 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with Bissinger's, Dark Chocolate Covered Cranberries; Collagen Peptides; Cranberry concord grape fruit infusions juice drink from concentrate, cranberry concord grape when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 90.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

14 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 38 of 38 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 Cranberry Extract

Across the 40 products on this site that list Cranberry Extract, 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. Acesulfame Potassium shows up about 9.7x more often with Cranberry Extract than in the catalogue at large.
