Garl
Garl appears in 13 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
Garl appears in 13 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.
Garl sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#12,640 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #12,640
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 716 others that also appear in exactly 13 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 100%
- Averaged label depth puts Garl near the end of the captured list (100% of list length, mean slot 15.8). 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.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 7.7% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Garl spans 10 named brands and is led by the Undefined group. Start with Classic Italian Marinara Sauce; Creamy Caesar Dressings; Jungle Curry when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.1/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
10 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 8 of 13 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 13 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.
