What the data can answer

This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

What this page can and cannot answer

Use prevalence before concern

Only 8.9% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Color Added Through Feed spans 22 named brands and is led by the Seafood group. Start with All Natural Smoked Salmon; Atlantic Salmon; Atlantic Salmon when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.6/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.

22 named brands carry this ingredient

The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 20 of 33 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.
