Lack Pepper
Lack Pepper appears in 5 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
Lack Pepper appears in 5 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.

What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 2 of 5 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Tuna Salad Wheat sandwich; Vindaloo with Lamb and Basmati Rice; Morning star farms, roasted garlic & quinoa veggie burger to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 95–100 score range to Lack Pepper itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Meats and their products supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
2 of 5 linked records have some flagged component
All 3 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 95–100 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.
