How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
91.8% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate as the trigger. Open records such as Amp game fuel; Amp game fuel; Arctic Frost Drink Enhancer and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 58.2/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 73% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
91.8% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 416 of 416 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate
Across the 416 products on this site that list Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate, 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 19x more often with Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|

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.

Questions readers ask about Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate
How should I read safety signals when Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
91.8% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate scores 5/5 on this site's screening scale and CSPI lists it as "Safe" with FDA SAFFA status "Approved". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate? ▼

What function does Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate is recorded as a flavor enhancer, flavoring agent or adjuvant, processing aid, surface-finishing agent in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
