Yam Flour

Yam Flour appears in 40 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

Yam Flour appears in 40 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.

Reading this ingredient record

Audit the co-occurring flags first

60% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Yam Flour as the trigger. Open records such as California Roll Ahi Poke; Crab Classic; Crab Classic Imitation Crab and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 96.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 70% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

60% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 31 of 39 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.

Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 95 others that also appear in exactly 40 products.
Typical depth in an ingredient list
70%
Averaged label depth puts Yam Flour in the lower half of the list (70% of list length, mean slot 15.9). Compound ingredients and OCR noise mean this cannot stand in for quantity.

Computed from parsed product ingredient lists (Open Food Facts). The ranking covers 247,206 ingredients that appear at least once. Neither usage rank nor label depth is a safety clearance.

What else is usually in the same product as Yam Flour

Across the 40 products on this site that list Yam Flour, 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. Carrageenan shows up about 12.8x more often with Yam Flour than in the catalogue at large.

How should I read safety signals when Yam Flour sits in heavily flagged products?
