What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
79.9% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Carnauba Leaf Wax as the trigger. Open records such as 12 Flavor Gummi Bears; 12 Flavor Gummi Bears; 12 Flavor Gummi Bears and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 59.1/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 78% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
79.9% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 159 of 159 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.
