Filtered

Filtered appears in 22 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

Filtered appears in 22 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.

Mean relative depth 30% across 22 parsed labels, slot 6.4 on average. Filtered tends to sit in the upper half of the list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.

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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 9.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Filtered spans 16 named brands and is led by the Beverages group. Start with Absolutely, Crepes; Belle Vie Original; Brie Bites Appetizers when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 95.9/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

16 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 10 of 15 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.

How do the sampled products compare?

Each point is one of the 16 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no FDA/CSPI verdict on Filtered?

This snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to Filtered, so PlainFoodSafe does not present a source-backed safety verdict. The page reports catalog prevalence (#8,787 of 247,206 ingredients) and label position instead.

Which product shelves show up most often with Filtered?

Filtered ranks in the top decile by product count (#8,787 of 247,206), appearing in 22 indexed products led by Beverages. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Filtered so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Filtered appears in 22 products (#8,787 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.

Regulatory status: FDA SAFFA (Filtered). Safety ratings: CSPI Chemical Cuisine; product presence: Open Food Facts via PlainFoodSafe (September 2026). Figures are computed from those sources, no editor-typed counts. Methodology · State regulations.
