Sodium Acid Sulfate
Sodium Acid Sulfate appears in 94 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
Sodium Acid Sulfate appears in 94 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
62.8% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Sodium Acid Sulfate as the trigger. Open records such as 4 pk Assorted Yeast Raised Donuts; Banana creme pie filling; Cain, chipotle ranch and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 81.3/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 71% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
62.8% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 89 of 90 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.
Sodium Acid Sulfate: top-decile catalog footprint (#3,264 of 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #3,264
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 26 others that also appear in exactly 94 products, listed in more products than 98.7% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 71%
- Averaged label depth puts Sodium Acid Sulfate in the lower half of the list (71% of list length, mean slot 19.6). 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 Sodium Acid Sulfate
Across the 94 products on this site that list Sodium Acid Sulfate, 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. Sucralose shows up about 9.9x more often with Sodium Acid Sulfate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Sodium Acid Sulfate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 25 | 26.6% | 2.7% |
| Caramel Coloring | 25 | 26.6% | 5.7% |
| Titanium Dioxide | 19 | 20.2% | 2.1% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 16 | 17% | 1.8% |
| Carrageenan | 14 | 14.9% | 4.5% |
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Sodium Acid Sulfate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
62.8% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Sodium Acid Sulfate is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Sodium Acid Sulfate? ▼
Sodium Acid Sulfate ranks in the top decile by product count (#3,264 of 247,206), appearing in 94 indexed products led by Snacks. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Sodium Acid Sulfate so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Sodium Acid Sulfate appears in 94 products (#3,264 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
