Durum Wheat Semolina
Durum Wheat Semolina appears in 2,704 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
Durum Wheat Semolina appears in 2,704 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 10.9% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Durum Wheat Semolina spans 481 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 100% durum wheat semolina; 100% durum wheat semolina enriched macaroni product; 100% Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
481 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 1332 of 2507 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.
