Himalayan Pink Sea Salt

Himalayan Pink Sea Salt appears in 76 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

Himalayan Pink Sea Salt appears in 76 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.

82%
Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 76 products listing it (mean slot 13.4). Himalayan Pink Sea Salt usually falls near the end of the captured list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

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.

Reading this ingredient record

Use prevalence before concern

Only 13.2% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Himalayan Pink Sea Salt spans 22 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 32g Plant Protein 0g Sugar Chocolate; 32g Plant Protein No Nut Butter Cup; Amino when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.6/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

22 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 49 of 71 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 Himalayan Pink Sea Salt

Across the 76 products on this site that list Himalayan Pink Sea Salt, 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.
