What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 14.3% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Annatto Color Added Seasonally spans 10 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with Butter Toff. Peanuts; Butter Toffee Almonds; Butter Toffee Almonds when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 94.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
10 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 9 of 12 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.
How do the sampled products compare?
