Grade A Cream
Grade A Cream appears in 160 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
Grade A Cream appears in 160 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 41 of 160 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 2% Milkfat Blended Greek Yogurt; Ahold, simply enjoy, roasted red onion & gruyere gourmet dip; Blended Greek Lowfat Yogurt to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 40–100 score range to Grade A Cream itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Dairies supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
41 of 160 linked records have some flagged component
All 131 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 40–100 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.

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.
What else is usually in the same product as Grade A Cream
Across the 160 products on this site that list Grade A Cream, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
