Ye
Ye appears in 24 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
Ye appears in 24 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: 9 of 24 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Chesters ranch fries; Chopped Kale Salad; Citrus Pops to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Ye itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Undefined supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
9 of 24 linked records have some flagged component
All 23 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.

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.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ye carry its own safety label in this catalog? ▼
This is a mixed neighborhood: some linked products carry a separate flag while others do not. This snapshot does not attach a standalone FDA/CSPI verdict to Ye. Compare like-for-like products before treating the average screening score as an ingredient verdict.
Which product shelves show up most often with Ye? ▼
Ye ranks in the top decile by product count (#8,251 of 247,206), appearing in 24 indexed products led by Undefined. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Ye so common on ingredient lists? ▼
