Fish Oil
Fish Oil appears in 148 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 Oil appears in 148 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.
How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 34 of 148 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Apple Cinnamon; Apple Strawberry Spinach; Applesauce with Brain Nutrients to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 80–100 score range to Fish Oil itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Seafood supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
34 of 148 linked records have some flagged component
All 146 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 80–100 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.

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.
What else is usually in the same product as Fish Oil
Across the 148 products on this site that list Fish Oil, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 3.6x more often with Fish Oil than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Fish Oil products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 24 | 16.2% | 4.5% |
