How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 11.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Citric Acid And Natural Flavors spans 12 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 100% Juice From Concentrate; Celestial Organics, Flavored Kombucha, Strawberry Basil; Champion'S Choice All Purpose Rub, Champion'S Choice when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.5/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
12 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 26 of 26 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.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.
