Macadamia Nuts
Macadamia Nuts appears in 617 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
Macadamia Nuts appears in 617 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 11.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Macadamia Nuts spans 223 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 7 select, macadamia nut caramel popcorn cluster, vanilla; 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate Almond Pieces & Blueberry Granules; Abound Nut Bar when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.7/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
223 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 365 of 577 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.
