What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 39 of 81 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Ahold, tonic water; Crisp & Refreshing Diet Tonic Water; Crisp & Refreshing Tonic Water to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 70–100 score range to Quinine Hydrochloride itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
39 of 81 linked records have some flagged component
All 81 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 70–100 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 Quinine Hydrochloride
Across the 81 products on this site that list Quinine Hydrochloride, 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. Aspartame shows up about 45.2x more often with Quinine Hydrochloride than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Quinine Hydrochloride products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aspartame | 33 | 40.7% | 0.9% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 12 | 14.8% | 1.8% |
