Skimmed Milk Powder

Skimmed Milk Powder appears in 943 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

Skimmed Milk Powder appears in 943 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 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 1 other that also appear in exactly 943 products, listed in more products than 99.7% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
47%
Averaged label depth puts Skimmed Milk Powder in the upper half of the list (47% of list length, mean slot 11.7). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 10.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Skimmed Milk Powder spans 370 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 10 Slice White Bread; 12 Macarons Assorted; 2 Lemon & Sultana Danish Pastries when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.1/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

370 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 919 of 939 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 Skimmed Milk Powder

Across the 943 products on this site that list Skimmed Milk Powder, 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.
