How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 307 of 1396 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 10 Grain Bread Mix; 2 mini yum yums; 3-Seed Sourdough Bread to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Thiamine itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
307 of 1,396 linked records have some flagged component
All 1345 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Thiamine
Across the 1,396 products on this site that list Thiamine, 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.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Thiamine products | Share of all products |
