Vit D3
Vit D3 appears in 11 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
Vit D3 appears in 11 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.
Reading this ingredient record
Audit the co-occurring flags first
54.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Vit D3 as the trigger. Open records such as 1% Lowfat Chocolate Milk; 2% Reduced Fat Milk; Bumpboosters, Pregnancy Cookie and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 92.7/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 77% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
54.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 7 of 10 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Vit D3 sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
54.5% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Vit D3 is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.

Why is Vit D3 so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Vit D3 appears in 11 products (#14,190 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
