Potassium Sorbate To Protect Flavor
Potassium Sorbate To Protect Flavor appears in 217 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

How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
51.6% 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 To Protect Flavor as the trigger. Open records such as 100% Parmesan & Romano Grated Cheese; 100% Vitamin C Orange Strawberry; 100% Vitamin C, Orange Pineapple and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 89.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 85% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
51.6% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 189 of 216 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.
