Monopotassium Phosphate
Monopotassium Phosphate appears in 771 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
Monopotassium Phosphate appears in 771 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
77.6% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Monopotassium Phosphate as the trigger. Open records such as 51 Fifty, Energy Drink, Fruit Punch; Agua, Zero Calories Water + Electrolyte, Grape + Watermelon; All Sport Zero and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 72.9/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 59% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
77.6% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 768 of 770 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.
Monopotassium Phosphate: top-decile catalog footprint (#785 of 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #785
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, listed in more products than 99.7% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 59%
- Averaged label depth puts Monopotassium Phosphate in the lower half of the list (59% of list length, mean slot 8.9). 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Monopotassium Phosphate
Across the 771 products on this site that list Monopotassium Phosphate, 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. Sucralose shows up about 10.5x more often with Monopotassium Phosphate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Monopotassium Phosphate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 218 | 28.3% | 2.7% |

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Monopotassium Phosphate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
77.6% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Monopotassium Phosphate is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
