Shiitake Mushroom Extract
Shiitake Mushroom Extract appears in 38 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
Shiitake Mushroom Extract appears in 38 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.

- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 38 products listing it (mean slot 19.9). Shiitake Mushroom Extract usually falls in the lower 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 13.2% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Shiitake Mushroom Extract spans 22 named brands and is led by the Dietary supplements group. Start with 1Minute Miso Organic Original; BEEF BONE FLAVORED SOUP; Chicken Noodle Soup 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.
22 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 29 of 36 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 Shiitake Mushroom Extract
Across the 38 products on this site that list Shiitake Mushroom Extract, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
