Wine
Wine appears in 915 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
Wine appears in 915 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.

Catalog prevalence comes from Open Food Facts ingredient lists. FDA SAFFA and CSPI Chemical Cuisine labels are shown only when the source record contains them.
What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 455 of 915 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 8 Potato Balls; A crunchy coating filled with smoky bacon and a creamy blend of six cheeses bites, bacon mac & cheese; Alfredo Sauce to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 15–100 score range to Wine itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Meats and their products supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
455 of 915 linked records have some flagged component
All 895 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 15–100 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.
Wine: top-decile catalog footprint (#708 of 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #708
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, listed in more products than 99.7% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 52%
- Averaged label depth puts Wine in the lower half of the list (52% of list length, mean slot 15.0). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.
Ranks use Open Food Facts ingredient rows on this site’s refresh cycle. 247,206 ingredients with ≥1 product appearance enter the ranking. Prevalence and list depth are catalog facts, not toxicology.
What else is usually in the same product as Wine
Across the 915 products on this site that list Wine, 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 13.2x more often with Wine than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Wine products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium Nitrite | 289 | 31.6% | 2.4% |
| Sodium Nitrate | 156 | 17% | 0.2% |
| Caramel Coloring | 130 | 14.2% | 5.7% |
| BHT | 63 | 6.9% | 1.1% |
| BHA | 59 | 6.4% | 0.7% |
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.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 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.
