Glucose-fructose

Glucose-fructose appears in 107 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-fructose appears in 107 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

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 53 of 107 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 7 Up; Allison's candy kabob, candies; Allison's candy, kabob to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Glucose-fructose itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

53 of 107 linked records have some flagged component

All 106 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.

Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.

Glucose-fructose sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#2,992 / 247,206)

Usage rank
#2,992
of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 18 others that also appear in exactly 107 products, listed in more products than 98.8% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
32%
Mean relative depth 32% across 107 parsed labels, slot 11.0 on average. Glucose-fructose tends to sit in the upper half of the list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.

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-fructose

Across the 107 products on this site that list Glucose-fructose, 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. Titanium Dioxide shows up about 7.6x more often with Glucose-fructose than in the catalogue at large.

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

Does Glucose-fructose carry its own safety label in this catalog?

This is a mixed neighborhood: some linked products carry a separate flag while others do not. This snapshot does not attach a standalone FDA/CSPI verdict to Glucose-fructose. Compare like-for-like products before treating the average screening score as an ingredient verdict.

Which product shelves show up most often with Glucose-fructose?

Glucose-fructose ranks in the top decile by product count (#2,992 of 247,206), appearing in 107 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Glucose-fructose so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Glucose-fructose appears in 107 products (#2,992 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
