What the data can answer

Tomatoes And Citric Acid appears in 17 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 11.8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Tomatoes And Citric Acid spans 9 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with Bbq Chicken Pizza; Beef Meatballs In Marinara Sauce; Cheese ravioli tricolor striped pasta when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

9 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 10 of 17 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.

How do the sampled products compare?
