Ferric Orthophosphate appears in 2,555 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

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.

What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 900 of 2555 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1/2 Cheese Pizza & 1/2 Pepperoni Pizza; 100 Calorie Quick Cooking Oatmeal Cinnamon Roll; 3 meat sausage pepperoni & ham pizza, 3 meat to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Ferric Orthophosphate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Plant-based foods and beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
900 of 2,555 linked records have some flagged component
All 2502 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
