Ginger Extract
Ginger Extract appears in 244 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
Ginger Extract appears in 244 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.

- Usage rank
- #1,707
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 5 others that also appear in exactly 244 products, listed in more products than 99.3% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 64%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 244 products listing it (mean slot 9.0). Ginger Extract usually falls in the lower half of the 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.
How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 17.6% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Ginger Extract spans 105 named brands and is led by the Beverages group. Start with Actual Sunshine Rise and Glow; Alex; almond MALK Pumpkin Spice when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
105 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 182 of 229 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Ginger Extract
Across the 244 products on this site that list Ginger Extract, 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. Caramel Coloring shows up about 1.7x more often with Ginger Extract than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Ginger Extract products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 24 | 9.8% | 5.7% |
| Sucralose | 7 | 2.9% | 2.7% |
| Red 40 | 5 | 2% | 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.
