Papaya Puree appears in 58 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

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.

What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 28 of 58 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare All natural pure fruit juice blend; All natural pure fruit juice blend; Annie's Organic Papaya Poppy Seed Dressing to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 20–100 score range to Papaya Puree itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Plant-based foods and beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
28 of 58 linked records have some flagged component
All 56 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 20–100 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.
