Red Bell Pepper Puree

Red Bell Pepper Puree appears in 69 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

Red Bell Pepper Puree appears in 69 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.

43%
Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 69 products listing it (mean slot 14.0). Red Bell Pepper Puree usually falls in the upper half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

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 13% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Red Bell Pepper Puree spans 28 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with Black Truffle Hot Sauce; Buddha Bowl; Chicken Tikka Masala when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.9/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

28 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 54 of 66 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 Red Bell Pepper Puree

Across the 69 products on this site that list Red Bell Pepper Puree, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 1.6x more often with Red Bell Pepper Puree than in the catalogue at large.
