Milk Derived
Milk Derived appears in 33 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
Milk Derived appears in 33 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.
What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
66.7% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Milk Derived as the trigger. Open records such as Baked puffs corn snacks; Cafe delight nondairy creamer canisters; Cheez doodles and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 71.2/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 71% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
66.7% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 33 of 33 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.

- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 71%
- Averaged label depth puts Milk Derived in the lower half of the list (71% of list length, mean slot 17.8). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
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 else is usually in the same product as Milk Derived
Across the 33 products on this site that list Milk Derived, 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. Yellow 5 shows up about 10.7x more often with Milk Derived than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Milk Derived products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Yellow 5 | 17 | 51.5% | 4.8% |
| Yellow 6 | 16 | 48.5% | 3.4% |
| Carrageenan | 5 | 15.2% | 4.5% |
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.

How should I read safety signals when Milk Derived sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
66.7% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Milk Derived is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
