Vitamin
Vitamin appears in 124 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
Vitamin appears in 124 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 29 of 124 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Alertness Beverage; American Singles; Apple Cinnamon to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 10–100 score range to Vitamin itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Undefined supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
29 of 124 linked records have some flagged component
All 116 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 10–100 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.

- 75%
- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 124 products listing it (mean slot 17.0). Vitamin usually falls near the end of the captured list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.
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 Vitamin
Across the 124 products on this site that list Vitamin, 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. Acesulfame Potassium shows up about 5.4x more often with Vitamin than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Vitamin products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acesulfame Potassium | 12 | 9.7% | 1.8% |
| Sucralose | 12 | 9.7% | 2.7% |
| Carrageenan | 11 | 8.9% | 4.5% |
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | 4% | 5.7% |

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.
