Leche
Leche appears in 96 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
Leche appears in 96 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.

- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 23 others that also appear in exactly 96 products, listed in more products than 98.7% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 61%
- Averaged label depth puts Leche in the lower half of the list (61% of list length, mean slot 21.1). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
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.
What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 13.5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Leche spans 60 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 10 Grain Pancake & Waffle Mix; Alfajores 70% Cacao Puro; Alfajores Chocolate Blanco when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 95.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
60 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 77 of 81 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 Leche
Across the 96 products on this site that list Leche, 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.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Leche products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 7 | 7.3% | 5.7% |
| Yellow 6 | 5 | 5.2% | 3.4% |
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.
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.
