What the data can answer

This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 88 of 388 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Almond Nut-Thins Cheddar Cheese; Artisan Nut Thins Asiago Cheese Cracker Snacks; Asiago & Roasted Garlic Dip Mix to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Cheddar Cheese Powder itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
88 of 388 linked records have some flagged component
All 387 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.
