Spirits

Spirits appears in 18 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

Spirits appears in 18 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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 5 of 18 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Bulgogi sauce & marinade for beef with fruit purees; Chocolate Cream Bun; Chung jung one, korean bbq galbi sauce & marinade for pork to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 80–100 score range to Spirits itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Condiments supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

5 of 18 linked records have some flagged component

All 18 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 80–100 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 18 products listing it (mean slot 13.3). Spirits 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.

Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.

How do the sampled products compare?

Each point is one of the 16 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.

Spirits — common follow-ups

Does Spirits carry its own safety label in this catalog?

This is a mixed neighborhood: some linked products carry a separate flag while others do not. This snapshot does not attach a standalone FDA/CSPI verdict to Spirits. Compare like-for-like products before treating the average screening score as an ingredient verdict.

Spirits ranks in the top decile by product count (#10,099 of 247,206), appearing in 18 indexed products led by Condiments. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.

Why is Spirits so common on ingredient lists?
