Sweet Cream Buttermilk

Sweet Cream Buttermilk appears in 624 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

Sweet Cream Buttermilk appears in 624 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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Audit the co-occurring flags first

66.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Sweet Cream Buttermilk as the trigger. Open records such as 100% Natural Flavor Ice Cream; 5 Cheese Texas Toast; 5-Cheese Garlic Bread and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 85.1/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 27% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

66.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 610 of 624 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 624 products listing it (mean slot 9.1). Sweet Cream Buttermilk 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.

Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.
