Monodiglyceride
Monodiglyceride appears in 19 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
Monodiglyceride appears in 19 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.
How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
94.7% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Monodiglyceride as the trigger. Open records such as Apple Penguin; Moyers, apple snowman, white chocolate & caramel; Sour & Sweet Belts and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 45.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 62% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
94.7% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 19 of 19 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.
Monodiglyceride sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#9,730 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #9,730
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 368 others that also appear in exactly 19 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 62%
- Averaged label depth puts Monodiglyceride in the lower half of the list (62% of list length, mean slot 12.7). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.
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
How should I read safety signals when Monodiglyceride sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
94.7% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Monodiglyceride is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Monodiglyceride? ▼
Monodiglyceride ranks in the top decile by product count (#9,730 of 247,206), appearing in 19 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Monodiglyceride so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Monodiglyceride appears in 19 products (#9,730 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
