Herb Blend
Herb Blend appears in 82 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
Herb Blend appears in 82 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.
Herb Blend: top-decile catalog footprint (#3,608 of 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #3,608
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 30 others that also appear in exactly 82 products, listed in more products than 98.5% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 67%
- Averaged label depth puts Herb Blend in the lower half of the list (67% of list length, mean slot 18.8). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
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 this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 9.8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Herb Blend spans 30 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with Almond granola; Coconut & almond granola with honey; Coconut Banana Paradise Granola when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.0/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
30 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 69 of 77 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 Herb Blend
Across the 82 products on this site that list Herb Blend, 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. BHA shows up about 8.7x more often with Herb Blend than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Herb Blend products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| BHA | 5 | 6.1% | 0.7% |
| BHT | 5 | 6.1% | 1.1% |
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.
