Compare A decadent private reserve chocolate assortment; All dark fine chocolates, all dark; Almond dark chocolate promises to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Chocolate Processed With Alkali itself. The ingredient most often sits near the top of the captured list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
199 of 679 linked records have some flagged component
All 676 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.
