Fish Protein
Fish Protein appears in 233 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 Protein appears in 233 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
Audit the co-occurring flags first
50.6% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Fish Protein as the trigger. Open records such as American special roll wr; Atlantic Salmon Pinwheel; Atlantic salmon with seafood stuffing and tilapia with spinach & feta stuffing and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 95.1/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 16% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
50.6% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 233 of 233 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
Fish Protein sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#1,768 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #1,768
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 6 others that also appear in exactly 234 products, listed in more products than 99.3% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 16%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 234 products listing it (mean slot 8.9). Fish Protein usually falls near the top of the captured list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.
Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.
What else is usually in the same product as Fish Protein
Across the 233 products on this site that list Fish Protein, 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 5.8x more often with Fish Protein than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Fish Protein products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 61 | 26.2% | 4.5% |
| Caramel Coloring | 39 | 16.7% | 5.7% |
| Titanium Dioxide | 13 | 5.6% | 2.1% |
| Aspartame | 7 | 3% | 0.9% |
| Red 40 | 6 | 2.6% | 5.4% |
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Fish Protein sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
50.6% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Fish Protein is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Fish Protein? ▼
Fish Protein ranks in the top decile by product count (#1,768 of 247,206), appearing in 233 indexed products led by Meals. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Fish Protein so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Fish Protein appears in 233 products (#1,768 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
