Triticale
Triticale appears in 379 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
Triticale appears in 379 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.

- Mean relative depth 43% across 379 parsed labels, slot 14.2 on average. Triticale tends to sit in the upper half of the list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.
Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Triticale spans 121 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 10 Grain Bread Mix; 10-Grain Pancake Mix; 12 grain 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.
121 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 310 of 366 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 Triticale
Across the 379 products on this site that list Triticale, 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. Potassium Iodate shows up about 25x more often with Triticale than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Triticale products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potassium Iodate | 19 | 5% | 0.2% |
| Caramel Coloring | 6 | 1.6% | 5.7% |
| Carrageenan | 5 | 1.3% | 4.5% |
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.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.
