Curd

Curd appears in 8 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

Curd appears in 8 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.

Typical depth in an ingredient list
13%
Averaged label depth puts Curd near the top of the captured list (13% of list length, mean slot 4.3). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

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 12.5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Curd spans 6 named brands and is led by the Beverages and beverages preparations group. Start with 7-eleven fresh to go, football iced sugar cookie; Aloo matar; Kohinoor, Rice & Curry, Mughlai Kofta Curry With Peas Pulao when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 87.5/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

6 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 3 of 5 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.

How do the sampled products compare?

Each point is one of the 8 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.
