Vitamin B₂
Vitamin B₂ appears in 102 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 B₂ appears in 102 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: 50 of 102 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Applepie toast crunch; Barre Lucky Charms Treats King Size; Boo Berry to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Vitamin B₂ 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.
50 of 102 linked records have some flagged component
All 102 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 B₂
Across the 102 products on this site that list Vitamin B₂, 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. Red 40 shows up about 4x more often with Vitamin B₂ than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Vitamin B₂ products | Share of all products |
