What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
67.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Manganese Gluconate as the trigger. Open records such as Advantage shake, vanilla; Atkins; Atkins Creamy Chocolate Protein-Rich Shake and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 84.6/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 57% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
67.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 168 of 168 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
What else is usually in the same product as Manganese Gluconate
Across the 169 products on this site that list Manganese Gluconate, 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 11.3x more often with Manganese Gluconate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Manganese Gluconate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 86 | 50.9% | 4.5% |
| Sucralose | 65 | 38.5% | 2.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 62 | 36.7% | 1.8% |
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | 3% | 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Manganese Gluconate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
67.5% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Manganese Gluconate is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Manganese Gluconate scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "GRAS". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Manganese Gluconate? ▼
Manganese Gluconate ranks in the top decile by product count (#2,172 of 247,206), appearing in 169 indexed products led by Beverages. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
What function does Manganese Gluconate serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Manganese Gluconate is recorded as a flavoring agent or adjuvant, fumigant in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
