Tomato Juice
Tomato Juice appears in 3,461 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
Tomato Juice appears in 3,461 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
Use prevalence before concern
Only 10.2% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Tomato Juice spans 656 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 100% Natural Diced Tomatoes, Roasted Garlic & Onion; 100% organic italian diced plum tomatoes in heavy juice; 100% Tomato Juice when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
656 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 1706 of 3311 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
What else is usually in the same product as Tomato Juice
Across the 3,461 products on this site that list Tomato Juice, 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 Tomato Juice products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 171 | 4.9% | 5.7% |
| Carrageenan | 122 | 3.5% | 4.5% |
| Sodium Nitrite | 65 | 1.9% | 2.4% |
| BHA | 56 | 1.6% | 0.7% |
| BHT | 56 | 1.6% | 1.1% |
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.
