Relish
Relish appears in 65 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
Relish appears in 65 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.
How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
58.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Relish as the trigger. Open records such as 1000 Fajita Island Dressing & Dipping Sauce; Ahold, homestyle picnic macaroni salad; Bennetts, Creamy Tartar Sauce and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 90.6/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 35% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
58.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 64 of 65 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
Relish sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#4,179 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #4,179
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 31 others that also appear in exactly 65 products, listed in more products than 98.3% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 35%
- Averaged label depth puts Relish in the upper half of the list (35% of list length, mean slot 13.5). 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 else is usually in the same product as Relish
Across the 65 products on this site that list Relish, 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. Polysorbate 80 shows up about 35.5x more often with Relish than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Relish products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polysorbate 80 | 30 | 46.2% | 1.3% |
| Polysorbate 60 | 9 | 13.8% | 1.4% |
| Yellow 5 | 8 | 12.3% | 4.8% |
| Titanium Dioxide | 6 | 9.2% | 2.1% |
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Relish sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
58.5% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Relish is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Relish? ▼
Relish ranks in the top decile by product count (#4,179 of 247,206), appearing in 65 indexed products led by Condiments. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Relish so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Relish appears in 65 products (#4,179 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
