Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 145 of 323 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare America's choice, naturally flavored cheese crackers; Arthur Macaroni & Cheese; Baked cheese crackers, cheddar cheese, cheddar cheese to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Annatto Extract For Color itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Desserts supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
145 of 323 linked records have some flagged component
All 322 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
