How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 1 of 4 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Buffalo Pretzels; Cauliflower Puffs; Wings to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 90–100 score range to Buffalo Hot Sauce itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Frozen foods supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
1 of 4 linked records have some flagged component
All 4 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 90–100 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.
