Koji Culture
Koji Culture appears in 61 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
Koji Culture appears in 61 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.

Koji Culture sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#4,349 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #4,349
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 39 others that also appear in exactly 61 products, listed in more products than 98.2% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 71%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 61 products listing it (mean slot 9.7). Koji Culture usually falls in the lower half of the 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.
How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 6.6% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Koji Culture spans 23 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with 1Minute Miso Organic Original; Aged rustic alpine semi firm; Blue dragon, honey teriyaki sauce when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.7/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
23 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 44 of 59 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.
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.
