Roasted Red Peppers

Roasted Red Peppers appears in 338 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

Roasted Red Peppers appears in 338 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.

Typical depth in an ingredient list
39%
Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 338 products listing it (mean slot 12.8). Roasted Red Peppers 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.

How to use this page

Use prevalence before concern

Only 13% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Roasted Red Peppers spans 151 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with 2013 Salsa; 2014 Championship Salsa; 365 everyday value, red peppers when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

151 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 200 of 323 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 Roasted Red Peppers

Across the 338 products on this site that list Roasted Red Peppers, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.

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.
