What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
100% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Ethyl Butyrate as the trigger. Open records such as Cantabilr Green Grape Falvored Ade; Pudding With Coconut Gel And Mango Puree, Mango; Mixed fruit jelly and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 85.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 66% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
100% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 2 of 3 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Ethyl Butyrate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
100% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Ethyl Butyrate is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Ethyl Butyrate scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "GRAS". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Where does Ethyl Butyrate show up across the catalog? ▼
Ethyl Butyrate sits above the median for catalog prevalence (3 products, #35,091 of 247,206) across 2 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
What function does Ethyl Butyrate serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Ethyl Butyrate is recorded as a flavoring agent or adjuvant in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
