Yogurt
Yogurt appears in 556 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
Yogurt appears in 556 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.
Yogurt sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#987 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #987
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 2 others that also appear in exactly 557 products, listed in more products than 99.6% of them.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 19%
- Averaged label depth puts Yogurt near the top of the captured list (19% of list length, mean slot 5.6). 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.
Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 17.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Yogurt spans 178 named brands and is led by the Dairies group. Start with 100% Smooth Fruit Yogurt, Pear + Blueberry Baby Brekkie; 365 everyday value, whole foods market, greek yogurt strawberry; 5 Layer Dip when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.1/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
178 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 453 of 538 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 Yogurt
Across the 556 products on this site that list Yogurt, 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 2.4x more often with Yogurt than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Yogurt products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 61 | 11% | 4.5% |
| Caramel Coloring | 15 | 2.7% | 5.7% |
| BHT | 13 | 2.3% | 1.1% |
| Titanium Dioxide | 7 | 1.3% | 2.1% |
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.

Questions readers ask about Yogurt
Why is there no FDA/CSPI verdict on Yogurt? ▼
