Tree Nuts

Tree Nuts appears in 1,485 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

Tree Nuts appears in 1,485 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.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.

Tree Nuts sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#513 / 247,206)

Usage rank

of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, listed in more products than 99.8% of them.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
82%
Averaged label depth puts Tree Nuts near the end of the captured list (82% of list length, mean slot 20.3). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.

How to use this page

Use prevalence before concern

Only 18% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Tree Nuts spans 609 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 100% Pure Coconut Water; 100% Whey Protein Vanilla Flavor Protein Powder; 100% Whole Wheat Bread when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 93.6/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

609 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 1124 of 1358 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 Tree Nuts

Across the 1,485 products on this site that list Tree Nuts, 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.

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.
