Glucose Powder
Glucose Powder appears in 62 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
Glucose Powder appears in 62 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
85.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Glucose Powder as the trigger. Open records such as Bakery Crafts, Merry Christmas Cupcake Decoration Kit; Candy Pumpkins; Chocolate Mini Cupcakes and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 36.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 46% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
85.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 62 of 62 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.
Glucose Powder sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#4,302 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #4,302
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 46 others that also appear in exactly 62 products, listed in more products than 98.3% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 46%
- Averaged label depth puts Glucose Powder in the upper half of the list (46% of list length, mean slot 20.2). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
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 Glucose Powder
Across the 62 products on this site that list Glucose Powder, 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. Red 40 shows up about 11.1x more often with Glucose Powder than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Glucose Powder products | Share of all products |

Glucose Powder — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Glucose Powder sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
85.5% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Glucose Powder is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
