Diglyceride

Diglyceride appears in 11 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

Diglyceride appears in 11 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

Audit the co-occurring flags first

63.6% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Diglyceride as the trigger. Open records such as Boba brown sugar favor TARO MILK TEA; Cheddar cheese; Jelly Belly licorice bridge mix and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 65.5/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 70% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

63.6% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 9 of 11 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.

Typical depth in an ingredient list
70%
Averaged label depth puts Diglyceride in the lower half of the list (70% of list length, mean slot 32.2). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

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.

How do the sampled products compare?

Each point is one of the 11 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.

Diglyceride — common follow-ups

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

63.6% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Diglyceride is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.

Which product shelves show up most often with Diglyceride?

Diglyceride ranks in the top decile by product count (#14,190 of 247,206), appearing in 11 indexed products led by Frozen foods. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Diglyceride so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Diglyceride appears in 11 products (#14,190 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
