Onion Juice
Onion Juice appears in 254 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
Onion Juice appears in 254 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.

How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 51 of 254 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Apple & Walnut Salad With Chicken; Apple Walnut Salad With Chicken; Asian Style Chicken On Lettuce Mesclun Mix With Teriyaki Chicken, Edamame Salad, Crispy Noodles, Tomatoes & Carrots Salad, Asian Style Chicken to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 45–100 score range to Onion Juice itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Condiments supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
51 of 254 linked records have some flagged component
All 251 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 45–100 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.
