How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 7.4% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Rebaudioside A spans 158 named brands and is led by the Beverages group. Start with 100% Whey Protein Isolate Powder; 310 Chocolate Bliss Shake | 310 Nutrition; 365 everyday value, hot cocoa drink mix when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.1/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
158 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 523 of 535 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 Rebaudioside A
Across the 541 products on this site that list Rebaudioside A, 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. Monk fruit extract shows up about 18.4x more often with Rebaudioside A than in the catalogue at large.
