Magnesium Lactate
Magnesium Lactate appears in 149 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
Magnesium Lactate appears in 149 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.
How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 56 of 149 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Apple juice; Aqua Zero Water; Aquaball, Flavored Water Drink, Berry Frost to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 65–100 score range to Magnesium Lactate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
56 of 149 linked records have some flagged component
All 149 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 65–100 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Magnesium Lactate
Across the 149 products on this site that list Magnesium Lactate, 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. Sucralose shows up about 12.7x more often with Magnesium Lactate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Magnesium Lactate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 51 | 34.2% | 2.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 47 | 31.5% | 1.8% |

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.
