Milk Solids

Milk Solids appears in 533 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 Solids appears in 533 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.

Reading this ingredient record

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 209 of 533 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 6.25 Oz pizza meal; Accelerate Morning Protein Bar; Accelerate Morning Protein Bar to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Milk Solids itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

209 of 533 linked records have some flagged component

All 524 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 533 products listing it (mean slot 17.8). Milk Solids 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 else is usually in the same product as Milk Solids

Across the 533 products on this site that list Milk Solids, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
