Dairy Cream

Dairy Cream appears in 240 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

Dairy Cream appears in 240 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.

Typical depth in an ingredient list
43%
Averaged label depth puts Dairy Cream in the upper half of the list (43% of list length, mean slot 14.2). 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 12.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Dairy Cream spans 14 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with All dark fine chocolates, all dark; All milk fine chocolates, all milk; All milk, fine chocolates when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.2/100 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 237 of 238 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 Dairy Cream

Across the 240 products on this site that list Dairy Cream, 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. Red 40 shows up about 1.9x more often with Dairy Cream than in the catalogue at large.
