Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide

Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide appears in 86 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

Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide appears in 86 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.

of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 35 others that also appear in exactly 86 products, listed in more products than 98.6% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
42%
Averaged label depth puts Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide in the upper half of the list (42% of list length, mean slot 12.9). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 18.6% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide spans 30 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with Bite Size Oven Toasted Corn Biscuit Cereal; Chocolate Laced; Corn biscuits toasted cereal when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 95.5/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

30 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 48 of 82 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 Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide

Across the 86 products on this site that list Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide, 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. Caramel Coloring shows up about 2x more often with Reduced Iron And Zinc Oxide than in the catalogue at large.
