Nausea

Nausea appears in 23 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

Nausea appears in 23 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

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 7 of 23 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Berry Throat Drops Cool Berry; Cough & Throat Relief Drop, Honey Lemon Flavor; Cough Drops to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 25–100 score range to Nausea itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Cough-drop supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

7 of 23 linked records have some flagged component

All 15 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 25–100 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.

Typical depth in an ingredient list
39%
Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 23 products listing it (mean slot 9.1). Nausea 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.

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?
