D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate

D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate appears in 170 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

D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate appears in 170 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.

How to use this page

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 43 of 170 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 100% Juice Cherry Pomegranate Elderberry; 360 Total Care Infant Formula; Alimentum hypoallergenic for food allergies and to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 40–100 score range to D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Baby foods supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

43 of 170 linked records have some flagged component

All 167 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 40–100 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.

Usage rank
#2,164
of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 7 others that also appear in exactly 170 products, listed in more products than 99.1% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
61%
Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 170 products listing it (mean slot 23.8). D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate 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.

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 D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate

Across the 170 products on this site that list D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate, 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 2.9x more often with D-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate than in the catalogue at large.
