Radish
Radish appears in 398 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
Radish appears in 398 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.
Radish sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#1,203 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #1,203
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 2 others that also appear in exactly 398 products, listed in more products than 99.5% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 57%
- Averaged label depth puts Radish in the lower half of the list (57% of list length, mean slot 14.2). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 15.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Radish spans 169 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 4 Cherry Bakewell Tarts; Agave Bears; Ahold, fruit flavored snacks, fruit & vegetable blend when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
169 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 328 of 389 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
What else is usually in the same product as Radish
Across the 398 products on this site that list Radish, 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. Titanium Dioxide shows up about 2.1x more often with Radish than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Radish products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium Dioxide | 18 | 4.5% | 2.1% |
| Yellow 5 | 13 | 3.3% | 4.8% |
| Blue 1 | 13 | 3.3% | 4.2% |
| Caramel Coloring | 12 | 3% | 5.7% |
| Red 40 | 8 | 2% | 5.4% |
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.
