Turmeric Extract

Turmeric Extract appears in 1,366 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

Turmeric Extract appears in 1,366 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: 411 of 1366 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1st Phorm, Megawatt Strawberry Lemonade; 2 minute marinade garlic and herb; 2% Lowfat Yogurt mangoo to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Turmeric Extract itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

411 of 1,366 linked records have some flagged component

All 1366 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.

Turmeric Extract: top-decile catalog footprint (#542 of 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

Averaged label depth puts Turmeric Extract near the end of the captured list (83% of list length, mean slot 22.8). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.

What else is usually in the same product as Turmeric Extract

Across the 1,366 products on this site that list Turmeric Extract, 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.
