Glucose Solids

Glucose Solids appears in 53 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 Solids appears in 53 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

58.5% 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 Solids as the trigger. Open records such as 2-slice fudge brownie cheesecake; Archer farms, red velvet brownie; Barre glacée Fraises et crème and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 84.6/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 66% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

58.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 53 of 53 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.

Typical depth in an ingredient list
66%
Averaged label depth puts Glucose Solids in the lower half of the list (66% of list length, mean slot 34.8). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.

What else is usually in the same product as Glucose Solids

Across the 53 products on this site that list Glucose Solids, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 7.6x more often with Glucose Solids than in the catalogue at large.

Questions readers ask about Glucose Solids

How should I read safety signals when Glucose Solids sits in heavily flagged products?

58.5% 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 Solids is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
