Trace Of Lime
Trace Of Lime appears in 546 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
Trace Of Lime appears in 546 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
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 113 of 546 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 12 Taco Shells; 3 Seed Quinoa Cracker; 3 Seed Sweet Beet Crackers to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 15–100 score range to Trace Of Lime itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
113 of 546 linked records have some flagged component
All 506 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 15–100 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.
