Orange Oil

Orange Oil appears in 429 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

Orange Oil appears in 429 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: 94 of 429 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare A 1 original flavored roasted mixed nuts; Alaskan Salmon Cake; Alden's, organic light ice cream & sherbet, orange creme swirl to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Orange Oil itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

94 of 429 linked records have some flagged component

All 416 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 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 1 other that also appear in exactly 429 products, listed in more products than 99.5% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
78%
Averaged label depth puts Orange Oil near the end of the captured list (78% of list length, mean slot 17.8). 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.
