Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate appears in 189 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

Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate appears in 189 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

Audit the co-occurring flags first

88.9% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate as the trigger. Open records such as Butterscotch Discs; Chewy Coconut Patties; Classic bubble sugarfree gum, classic bubble and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 35.5/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 33% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

88.9% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 186 of 189 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 189 products listing it (mean slot 6.2). Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate usually falls in the upper 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.

What else is usually in the same product as Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate

Across the 189 products on this site that list Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I read safety signals when Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate sits in heavily flagged products?

88.9% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
