Because carrageenan has a variety of uses, it is included in a wide range of products.
The following foods commonly contain carrageenan:
Dairy: whipping cream, chocolate milk, ice cream, sour cream, cottage cheese, and children’s squeezable yogurt products
Dairy alternatives: soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, and soy puddings and other desserts
Meats: sliced turkey, prepared chicken, and deli meats
Prepared foods: canned soups and broths, microwavable dinners, and frozen pizzas
Some nutritional or diet drinks contain carrageenan, as do some supplements, including chewable vitamins.
Because it can be used as a gelatin alternative, some manufacturers use carrageenan in jelly-based products, including vegan jelly desserts.
