What the data can answer

Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate To Protect Flavor appears in 131 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.

Reading this ingredient record

Audit the co-occurring flags first

58% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Benzoate To Protect Flavor as the trigger. Open records such as Ahold, deviled egg potato salad; Ahold, dixie cole slaw; Ahold, redskin potato salad and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 91.1/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 92% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

58% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 129 of 129 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.
