Surcalose
Surcalose appears in 4 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
Surcalose appears in 4 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.

How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
50% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Surcalose as the trigger. Open records such as Carbmaster lemon cultured dairy blend; Distinct Selection Gourmet Tea, Latte Drink Mix, Chai Tea; Pure Plus, Aloe Vera Drink and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 88.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 89% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
50% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 4 of 4 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.

- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 89%
- Mean relative depth 89% across 4 parsed labels, slot 23.3 on average. Surcalose tends to sit near the end of the captured list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.
Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 4 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.

Surcalose — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Surcalose sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
50% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Surcalose is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Where does Surcalose show up across the catalog? ▼
Surcalose sits above the median for catalog prevalence (4 products, #28,812 of 247,206) across 4 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
Why is Surcalose so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The current source record does not specify a technical effect for Surcalose. Its near the end of the captured list and product examples are shown without guessing why manufacturers include it.
