How to use this page

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 40 of 143 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 365 Day Grass Fed Infant Formula with Iron; Banana Oatmeal; Belvita biscuits-breakfast forest fruit to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 20–100 score range to Pyridoxine itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

40 of 143 linked records have some flagged component

All 142 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 20–100 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Pyridoxine

Across the 143 products on this site that list Pyridoxine, 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. Sucralose shows up about 6x more often with Pyridoxine than in the catalogue at large.

Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pyridoxine carry its own safety label in this catalog?

This is a mixed neighborhood: some linked products carry a separate flag while others do not. Pyridoxine itself carries and FDA SAFFA status "GRAS" where the source record supplies them. Compare like-for-like products before treating the average screening score as an ingredient verdict.

Which product shelves show up most often with Pyridoxine?

Pyridoxine ranks in the top decile by product count (#2,428 of 247,206), appearing in 143 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Pyridoxine so common on ingredient lists?

The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Pyridoxine appears in 143 products (#2,428 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
