Pregelatinized Starch

Pregelatinized Starch appears in 29 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

Pregelatinized Starch appears in 29 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.

How to use this page

Audit the co-occurring flags first

55.2% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Pregelatinized Starch as the trigger. Open records such as Allegra; Children's Motrin; Heartburn relief chews and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 87.9/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 68% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

55.2% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 26 of 26 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.

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.

Pregelatinized Starch — common follow-ups

How should I read safety signals when Pregelatinized Starch sits in heavily flagged products?

55.2% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Pregelatinized Starch is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
