How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 9 of 32 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Chicken Franks; classico traditional pizza sauce; Fruit Gel to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 35–100 score range to Are Based On A 2 itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Plant-based foods and beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
All 14 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 35–100 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.
