What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 269 of 790 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 0016500579793; 310 Chocolate Bliss Shake | 310 Nutrition; 365 Day Grass Fed Infant Formula with Iron to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Vitamin A Acetate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Dairies supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
269 of 790 linked records have some flagged component
All 789 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Vitamin A Acetate
Across the 790 products on this site that list Vitamin A Acetate, 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. Sucralose shows up about 6.6x more often with Vitamin A Acetate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Vitamin A Acetate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 140 | 17.7% | 2.7% |
