What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 1 of 3 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Potato Salad Original; Tazah, cucumber pickles; Tres Leches Cake to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 95–100 score range to Citric Acid Salt itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Salted-snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
1 of 3 linked records have some flagged component
All 3 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 95–100 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.
