Reading this ingredient record

Audit the co-occurring flags first

66.7% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Benzoate Of Soda As A Preservative as the trigger. Open records such as Fancy Giardiniera; Garlic Pepperoncini; Hot Giardiniera and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 83.3/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 97% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

66.7% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 3 of 4 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.

Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
