Fish
Fish appears in 942 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
Fish appears in 942 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.
What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 216 of 942 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1 Oz Whole Grain Fish Stx; 100% Whey Protein Vanilla Flavor Protein Powder; 3rd Trimester Prenatal Pack to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Fish itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Seafood supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
216 of 942 linked records have some flagged component
All 848 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.

- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 943 products listing it (mean slot 18.7). Fish usually falls in the lower half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.
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 else is usually in the same product as Fish
Across the 942 products on this site that list Fish, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. Caramel Coloring shows up about 2.1x more often with Fish than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Fish products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 111 | 11.8% | 5.7% |
| Carrageenan | 53 | 5.6% | 4.5% |
| Sucralose | 21 | 2.2% | 2.7% |
| Titanium Dioxide | 21 | 2.2% | 2.1% |
| Aspartame | 11 | 1.2% | 0.9% |
Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.
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.
