How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 4593 of 12059 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 0% Fat Greek Nonfat Yogurt; 100% Grain-Free Bagels - Cinnamon-Raisin; 100% Mass Gainer Chocolate Fudge Brownie to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Coconut Oil 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.
4593 of 12,059 linked records have some flagged component
All 11848 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Coconut Oil
Across the 12,059 products on this site that list Coconut Oil, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
