Pasteurized
Pasteurized appears in 150 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
Pasteurized appears in 150 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.

- Usage rank
- #2,365
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 10 others that also appear in exactly 150 products, listed in more products than 99% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 49%
- Mean relative depth 49% across 150 parsed labels, slot 11.0 on average. Pasteurized tends to sit in the upper half of the list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.
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.
What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Pasteurized spans 81 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with Apple & Gouda Chicken Sausages; Apple Cider Vinegar; Apple cider, apple when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
81 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 84 of 128 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.
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.
