Sugar Syrup
Sugar Syrup appears in 313 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
Sugar Syrup appears in 313 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 155 of 313 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1883 Vanilla Ice Cream; 4 Cherry Bakewell Tarts; A delicious baked cheesecake on a chocolate biscuit base topped with toblerone's smooth milk chocolate to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Sugar Syrup itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Undefined supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
155 of 313 linked records have some flagged component
All 307 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.
