Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate appears in 113 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
Creatine Monohydrate appears in 113 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.

What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 27 of 113 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 100% Mass Gainer Chocolate Fudge Brownie; 100% Pure Creatine Monohydrate; Blue Raz Lemonade Flavor to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 65–100 score range to Creatine Monohydrate itself. The ingredient most often sits near the top of the captured list, and Dietary supplements supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
27 of 113 linked records have some flagged component
All 78 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 65–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.

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 Creatine Monohydrate
Across the 113 products on this site that list Creatine Monohydrate, 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.
