Yellow Bell Pepper

Yellow Bell Pepper appears in 99 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

Yellow Bell Pepper appears in 99 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.

Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 99 products listing it (mean slot 16.8). Yellow Bell Pepper usually falls in the lower half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

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.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 16.2% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Yellow Bell Pepper spans 47 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 20oz Vegetable Tray SSK; All Natural Mixed Bell Peppers; Almonds, Veggies & Hummus when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.0/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

47 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 57 of 93 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 Yellow Bell Pepper

Across the 99 products on this site that list Yellow Bell Pepper, 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.
