Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 8 products listing it (mean slot 9.6). L-alanyl-l-glutamine usually falls in the upper half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

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.

Reading this ingredient record

Audit the co-occurring flags first

50% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify L-alanyl-l-glutamine as the trigger. Open records such as AMINO. ENERGY Whacky Watermelon Flavor; CG5 Creatine + Glutamine; ESSENTIAL AMIN.O. ENERGY Juicy Strawberry and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 92.5/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 36% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

50% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 7 of 7 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.

Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I read safety signals when L-alanyl-l-glutamine sits in heavily flagged products?

50% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming L-alanyl-l-glutamine is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, L-alanyl-l-glutamine scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "Listed". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.

Which product shelves show up most often with L-alanyl-l-glutamine?

L-alanyl-l-glutamine ranks in the top decile by product count (#17,814 of 247,206), appearing in 8 indexed products led by Beverages and beverages preparations. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

What function does L-alanyl-l-glutamine serve when it appears beside other flagged additives?

L-alanyl-l-glutamine is recorded as a flavoring agent or adjuvant in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
