Flavor Blend
Flavor Blend appears in 56 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
Flavor Blend appears in 56 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 21 of 56 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Ancient harvest, organic hot cereal ancient grains, maple morning; Assorted Entertainment Crackers; Baked in Brooklyn Pita Chips Garlic & Parmesan to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 20–100 score range to Flavor Blend itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Dairies supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
21 of 56 linked records have some flagged component
All 56 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 20–100 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Flavor Blend
Across the 56 products on this site that list Flavor Blend, 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.
