What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 16.4% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Orange Peel spans 473 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 100% organic herbal tea; 2 olive roasted garlic salsa; 21 Seasoning Salute when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 94.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
473 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 901 of 1175 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
What else is usually in the same product as Orange Peel
Across the 1,233 products on this site that list Orange Peel, 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. Caramel Coloring shows up about 1.8x more often with Orange Peel than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Orange Peel products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 124 | 10.1% | 5.7% |
| Red 40 | 87 | 7.1% | 5.4% |
| Blue 1 | 48 | 3.9% | 4.2% |
| Carrageenan | 32 | 2.6% | 4.5% |
| Yellow 5 | 32 | 2.6% | 4.8% |
Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.
