Zinc Aspartate
Zinc Aspartate appears in 33 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
Zinc Aspartate appears in 33 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.
How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
97% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Zinc Aspartate as the trigger. Open records such as Creamy Chocolate Meal Replacement Shake; Dehydration Relief Zero Sugar; DripDrop and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 74.8/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 65% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
97% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 33 of 33 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.
Zinc Aspartate sits in the busiest tenth of the catalog (#6,578 / 247,206)
- Usage rank
- #6,578
- of 247,206 ingredients that appear in at least one catalogued product, tied with 168 others that also appear in exactly 33 products.
- Typical depth in an ingredient list
- 65%
- Mean relative depth 65% across 33 parsed labels, slot 16.8 on average. Zinc Aspartate tends to sit in the lower half of the list. Depth is location on the label, not a measured dose.
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 Zinc Aspartate
Across the 33 products on this site that list Zinc Aspartate, 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. Sucralose shows up about 32.6x more often with Zinc Aspartate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Zinc Aspartate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 29 | 87.9% | 2.7% |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 17 | 51.5% | 1.8% |
| Carrageenan | 12 | 36.4% | 4.5% |
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I read safety signals when Zinc Aspartate sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
97% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Zinc Aspartate is the trigger. None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Zinc Aspartate? ▼
Zinc Aspartate ranks in the top decile by product count (#6,578 of 247,206), appearing in 33 indexed products led by Dietary supplements. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
Why is Zinc Aspartate so common on ingredient lists? ▼
The source record does not name a technical effect, yet Zinc Aspartate appears in 33 products (#6,578 usage rank). High prevalence here describes formulation frequency, not an approved use level.
