Dill

Dill appears in 730 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

Dill appears in 730 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.

How to use this page

Use prevalence before concern

Only 5.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Dill spans 376 named brands and is led by the Condiments group. Start with 365 everyday value, red pepper & feta; Ag Standard, Smoked Almonds; Agrosik, konserwowe baby dill pickles when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.4/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 392 of 674 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.
