Water Distilled Vinegar

Water Distilled Vinegar appears in 15 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

Water Distilled Vinegar appears in 15 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.

Averaged label depth puts Water Distilled Vinegar in the upper half of the list (27% of list length, mean slot 8.1). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Derived by this site from the ingredient lists of every catalogued product (Open Food Facts), recomputed on each data refresh. 247,206 ingredients have at least one appearance and are ranked here. Usage and list position describe prevalence, not safety.

Reading this ingredient record

Use prevalence before concern

Only 13.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Water Distilled Vinegar spans 11 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with Bell-view, pimento spread, sweet pickle; Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Dip; Lemon Tartar Sauce when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

11 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 11 of 14 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.

Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.

How do the sampled products compare?

Each point is one of the 15 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.
