Wheat Semolina
Wheat Semolina appears in 108 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
Wheat Semolina appears in 108 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.

- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 108 products listing it (mean slot 9.0). Wheat Semolina usually falls in the upper half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 19.4% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Wheat Semolina spans 48 named brands and is led by the Meals group. Start with 4 ciabatta rolls; All Natural Entrees, Tomato Basil Penne; Artisan Baked Crouton Sticks when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 96.1/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
48 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 82 of 104 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Wheat Semolina
Across the 108 products on this site that list Wheat Semolina, 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. Sodium Nitrite shows up about 3.1x more often with Wheat Semolina than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Wheat Semolina products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium Nitrite | 8 | 7.4% | 2.4% |
| BHT | 8 | 7.4% | 1.1% |
| Carrageenan | 7 | 6.5% | 4.5% |
| BHA | 7 | 6.5% | 0.7% |
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | 4.6% | 5.7% |
Co-occurrence describes what manufacturers formulate together. It is not a claim that these additives interact, and it carries no regulatory meaning. Counted over products with parsed ingredient lists; Open Food Facts, 2026-09-01.
