Cupric Sulfate

Cupric Sulfate appears in 224 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

Cupric Sulfate appears in 224 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

55.4% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Cupric Sulfate as the trigger. Open records such as A.R. Added Rice Infant Formula; A.r. Added Rice Infant Formula Milk-based Powder With Iron; Advantage infant formula milk based powder with iron and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 87.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 63% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

55.4% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 222 of 223 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.

High-volume listing for Cupric Sulfate - usage rank #1,809

Usage rank
#1,809
of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 3 others that also appear in exactly 224 products, listed in more products than 99.3% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
63%
Mean relative depth 63% across 224 parsed labels, slot 29.2 on average. Cupric Sulfate tends to sit in the lower half of the list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.

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 else is usually in the same product as Cupric Sulfate

Across the 224 products on this site that list Cupric Sulfate, 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 11.2x more often with Cupric Sulfate than in the catalogue at large.

How do the sampled products compare?

Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.

Cupric Sulfate — common follow-ups

How should I read safety signals when Cupric Sulfate sits in heavily flagged products?

55.4% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Cupric Sulfate is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.

Which product shelves show up most often with Cupric Sulfate?

Cupric Sulfate ranks in the top decile by product count (#1,809 of 247,206), appearing in 224 indexed products led by Beverages. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Cupric Sulfate so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Cupric Sulfate appears in 224 products (#1,809 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
