Lipase
Lipase carries a source-backed screening score of 3/5 and appears in 443 indexed US food products.
Source-backed answer
Lipase appears in 443 catalogued products. CSPI has no rating attached in this snapshot. Its FDA SAFFA status is “Listed.” Those source labels describe the ingredient; they do not establish whether a particular product, dose, allergy, or diet is safe.

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 the way down the captured list, averaged across the 443 products listing it (mean slot 27.8). Lipase 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.
Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 19.2% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Lipase spans 159 named brands and is led by the Dietary supplements group. Start with 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese; 100% Pure Whey With Grass Fed Whey Isolates Vanilla Cream Slice Flavour; 3 Cheese Ravioli when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.7/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
159 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 442 of 442 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 Lipase
Across the 443 products on this site that list Lipase, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 2x more often with Lipase than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Lipase products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 40 | 9% | 4.5% |
| Monk fruit extract | 33 | 7.4% | 0.5% |
| Sucralose | 31 | 7% | 2.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 14 | 3.2% | 1.8% |
| Caramel Coloring | 9 | 2% | 5.7% |
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.
