Vitamin B₁
Vitamin B₁ appears in 194 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 B₁ appears in 194 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: 94 of 194 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare All Purpose Flour; Apple jacks; Apple Jacks to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Vitamin B₁ itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Plant-based foods and beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
94 of 194 linked records have some flagged component
All 190 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 B₁
Across the 194 products on this site that list Vitamin B₁, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
