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.

How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 1 of 4 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Sausage Balls; teriyaki sesame; Tropical fruit trail mix pound walnut cashew to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 80–100 score range to Cric Acid itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and the leading captured category supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
1 of 4 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 80–100 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.
