Mango

Mango appears in 1,539 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

Mango appears in 1,539 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 1,622 products listing it (mean slot 6.7). Mango usually falls in the upper half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 11.5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Mango spans 666 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 100% Natural Mango; 100% organic mango chunks in organic mango juice; 100% Organic Tropical Fruit Salad when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.0/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

666 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 780 of 1407 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 Mango

Across the 1,539 products on this site that list Mango, 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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no FDA/CSPI verdict on Mango?

This snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to Mango, so PlainFoodSafe does not present a source-backed safety verdict. The page reports catalog prevalence (#479 of 247,206 ingredients) and label position instead.

Which product shelves show up most often with Mango?

Mango ranks in the top decile by product count (#479 of 247,206), appearing in 1,539 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Mango so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Mango appears in 1,539 products (#479 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
