Lemon Juice Concentrate

Lemon Juice Concentrate appears in 9,732 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

Lemon Juice Concentrate appears in 9,732 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.

Averaged label depth puts Lemon Juice Concentrate in the lower half of the list (64% of list length, mean slot 13.9). 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 18.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Lemon Juice Concentrate spans 1737 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with 0% Nonfat Greek Yogurt With Fruit; 100% fruit juice smoothie; 100% juice 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.

1737 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 8066 of 9378 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 Lemon Juice Concentrate

Across the 9,732 products on this site that list Lemon Juice Concentrate, 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.
