Protein Concentrate

Protein Concentrate appears in 60 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

Protein Concentrate appears in 60 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.

Reading this ingredient record

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 27 of 60 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare American Fat Free Singles; Bookbinder's, semi-condensed oyster stew; Cakes to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Protein Concentrate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

27 of 60 linked records have some flagged component

All 59 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.

Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.

of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 46 others that also appear in exactly 60 products, listed in more products than 98.2% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
48%
Averaged label depth puts Protein Concentrate in the upper half of the list (48% of list length, mean slot 15.8). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

What else is usually in the same product as Protein Concentrate

Across the 60 products on this site that list Protein Concentrate, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. Carrageenan shows up about 3.3x more often with Protein Concentrate than in the catalogue at large.
