Rapeseed
Rapeseed appears in 1,127 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
Rapeseed appears in 1,127 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.
Rapeseed sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#612 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #612
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 1 other that also appear in exactly 1,127 products, listed in more products than 99.8% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 48%
- Averaged label depth puts Rapeseed in the upper half of the list (48% of list length, mean slot 9.8). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.
What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 10% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Rapeseed spans 311 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 12 White Rolls; 1883 crunchy old fashioned peanut butter; 4 pk Assorted Yeast Raised Donuts when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
311 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 1066 of 1122 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 Rapeseed
Across the 1,127 products on this site that list Rapeseed, 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.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Rapeseed products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 33 | 2.9% | 5.7% |
| Yellow 6 | 27 | 2.4% | 3.4% |
| Red 40 | 26 | 2.3% | 5.4% |
| Yellow 5 | 24 | 2.1% | 4.8% |
| Polysorbate 60 | 22 | 2% | 1.4% |
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.
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.
