68%
Averaged label depth puts Manganese Sulfate in the lower half of the list (68% of list length, mean slot 31.5). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

How to use this page

Audit the co-occurring flags first

66.4% 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 Sulfate as the trigger. Open records such as 0016500579793; 3-2-1 Plan Shakes; 30g Protein Nutritional Shake Dulce de Leche and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 84.1/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 68% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

66.4% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 1092 of 1095 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 Sulfate

Across the 1,099 products on this site that list Manganese Sulfate, 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 11.6x more often with Manganese Sulfate than in the catalogue at large.

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.

Questions readers ask about Manganese Sulfate

How should I read safety signals when Manganese Sulfate sits in heavily flagged products?

66.4% 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 Sulfate is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Manganese Sulfate 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 Sulfate?

Manganese Sulfate ranks in the top decile by product count (#627 of 247,206), appearing in 1,099 indexed products led by Beverages. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

What function does Manganese Sulfate serve when it appears beside other flagged additives?

Manganese Sulfate is recorded as a nutrient supplement 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.
