What is the average safety score for Lifesavers products?

Based on our analysis of 38 Lifesavers products, the average ingredient safety score is 4.2 out of 5. Scores range from 1 (Banned/Avoid) to 5 (Generally Safe), based on FDA regulatory status, EU approval, and peer-reviewed safety research.

How are ingredient safety scores calculated?

PlainIngredients scores each ingredient from 1 to 5 based on FDA regulatory status (GRAS, approved, banned), EU regulatory status, state-level bans, and findings from peer-reviewed toxicology studies. A score of 5 means the ingredient is Generally Recognized as Safe with no regulatory concerns. A score of 1 means the ingredient is banned or has strong evidence of harm. Product scores are averaged across all identified ingredients.

Where does PlainIngredients get its product data?

Product and ingredient list data comes from Open Food Facts, a collaborative open-data project. Safety scoring data comes from the FDA Substances Added to Food Inventory (SAFFA), EU Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008, and state food safety legislation. Product data is refreshed monthly.

A brand-level safety profile aggregates every tracked product we associate with this brand, then summarizes how the safety scores of their ingredients are distributed across that catalog. The standing shown here reflects the additives recorded for these products in Open Food Facts, matched against current FDA and EU regulatory status — it is not an endorsement, a certification, or an independent laboratory finding. Formulations change over time and regional variants differ, so a specific item on a shelf may not match the aggregate above. Read the actual ingredient list printed on packaging before making a purchasing decision, and treat a low score as a prompt to look closer rather than a definitive verdict on a brand.
