Pantothenate
Pantothenate appears in 26 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
Pantothenate appears in 26 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.
How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
50% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Pantothenate as the trigger. Open records such as Aspire Healthy Energy Raspberry + Acai; Black Edition Vanilla Meal; Cola and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 85.4/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 66% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
50% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 25 of 26 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.

- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 66%
- Mean relative depth 66% across 26 parsed labels, slot 20.8 on average. Pantothenate tends to sit in the lower half of the list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.
Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.

Pantothenate — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Pantothenate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
50% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Pantothenate is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Pantothenate? ▼
Pantothenate ranks in the top decile by product count (#7,791 of 247,206), appearing in 26 indexed products led by Beverages. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Pantothenate so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Pantothenate appears in 26 products (#7,791 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
