Sodium Citrate And Salt

Sodium Citrate And Salt appears in 48 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 Citrate And Salt appears in 48 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

60.4% 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 Citrate And Salt as the trigger. Open records such as Almonds & Cheese Snack Pack; Bbq Style Salad With Chicken; Cobb Salad With Chicken and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 83.4/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 22% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

60.4% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 47 of 48 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 48 products listing it (mean slot 13.0). Sodium Citrate And Salt usually falls near the top of the captured 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Sodium Citrate And Salt

Across the 48 products on this site that list Sodium Citrate And Salt, 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.
