Example
Example appears in 2 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
Example appears in 2 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.
Example ranks above 81.3% of catalogued ingredients
- Usage rank
- #46,185
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 25,114 others that also appear in exactly 2 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 77%
- Averaged label depth puts Example near the end of the captured list (77% of list length, mean slot 9.5). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.
Reading this ingredient record
A clean co-occurrence count is not a safety clearance
No linked product currently contains a separately flagged ingredient, but zero co-occurrence is an absence-of-evidence result, not regulatory approval. The practical reading is about use: Example reaches 1 named brands, most often appears under Dietary supplements, and typically sits near the end of the captured list. Product examples include Egg white protein powder; Organic Pea Protein Powder Creamy Vanilla. Check the current label and authoritative source databases when the decision involves allergies, dosage, pregnancy, or a medical condition.
0% of linked products currently carry a separately flagged ingredient
Most NOVA-tagged examples land in Group unclassified (0 of 0), yet the products span unrelated categories. That contrast matters: processing class can describe how a food was made while saying nothing decisive about this ingredient's regulatory status. Use the linked examples to understand formulation context, and leave the unanswered toxicology or individual-sensitivity question unanswered.
Next check: verify the unresolved source rating directly instead of converting zero co-flags into reassurance.

Example — common follow-ups
Why is there no FDA/CSPI verdict on Example? ▼
This snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to Example, so PlainFoodSafe does not present a source-backed safety verdict. The page reports catalog prevalence (#46,185 of 247,206 ingredients) and label position instead.
Where does Example show up across the catalog? ▼
Example sits above the median for catalog prevalence (2 products, #46,185 of 247,206) across 1 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
Why is Example so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The current source record does not specify a technical effect for Example. Its near the end of the captured list and product examples are shown without guessing why manufacturers include it.
