Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate

Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate appears in 110 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

Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate appears in 110 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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Audit the co-occurring flags first

56.4% 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 Propionate as the trigger. Open records such as Apple Pie; Baked Pie; Blueberry snack pies, blueberry and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 81.5/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 77% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

56.4% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 110 of 110 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.

Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#2,934 / 247,206)

Usage rank
#2,934
of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 15 others that also appear in exactly 110 products, listed in more products than 98.8% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
77%
Averaged label depth puts Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate near the end of the captured list (77% of list length, mean slot 30.1). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.

What else is usually in the same product as Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate

Across the 110 products on this site that list Potassium Sorbate And Sodium Propionate, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
