Sodium Nitirite
Sodium Nitirite appears in 5 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 Nitirite appears in 5 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.
How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 2 of 5 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Bacon With Egg & Cheese English Muffin Sandwich; Texas Toast Pizza; Applewood thick cut bacon, applewood to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 70–100 score range to Sodium Nitirite itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Meats and their products supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
2 of 5 linked records have some flagged component
All 5 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 70–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
Sodium Nitirite sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#24,708 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #24,708
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 4,103 others that also appear in exactly 5 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 70%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 5 products listing it (mean slot 12.8). Sodium Nitirite 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 do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 5 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.
