Rice Cereal
Rice Cereal appears in 54 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
Rice Cereal appears in 54 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.
Reading this ingredient record
Audit the co-occurring flags first
72.2% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Rice Cereal as the trigger. Open records such as Chewy Muesli Bar; Coated Crisped Rice Treats; Cocoa Krispies Treats and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 59.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 26% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
72.2% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 54 of 54 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.

- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 26%
- Averaged label depth puts Rice Cereal in the upper half of the list (26% 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 Rice Cereal
Across the 54 products on this site that list Rice Cereal, 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. Red 40 shows up about 6.2x more often with Rice Cereal than in the catalogue at large.

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.
