What the data can answer

Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 2.4% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Chicory Root Inulin spans 45 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with Ahold protein granola bars peanut; Ancient Harvest, Ancient Grain Nutrition Bar; Ancient Harvest, Ancient Grain Nutrition Bar, Garlic & Herb when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
45 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 149 of 159 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
