Fungal-amylase

Fungal-amylase appears in 35 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

Fungal-amylase appears in 35 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.

Reading this ingredient record

Audit the co-occurring flags first

80% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Fungal-amylase as the trigger. Open records such as Chocolate Cookie House Kit; Cookie Kit, Ginger Bread; Dark Cocoa Peppermint Pops Kit and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 26.1/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 12% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

80% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 31 of 33 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.

High-volume listing for Fungal-amylase - usage rank #6,340

Usage rank
#6,340
of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 111 others that also appear in exactly 35 products.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
12%
Averaged label depth puts Fungal-amylase near the top of the captured list (12% of list length, mean slot 5.0). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

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 Fungal-amylase

Across the 35 products on this site that list Fungal-amylase, 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. Polysorbate 60 shows up about 57.1x more often with Fungal-amylase than in the catalogue at large.

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 Fungal-amylase sits in heavily flagged products?

80% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Fungal-amylase is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.

Which product shelves show up most often with Fungal-amylase?

Fungal-amylase ranks in the top decile by product count (#6,340 of 247,206), appearing in 35 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Fungal-amylase so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Fungal-amylase appears in 35 products (#6,340 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
