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
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 2 of 9 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Balsamic Caramelized Onion Hommus; Cedar's, hommus, balsamic caramelized onion; MAPLE BOURBON CHICKEN to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 95–100 score range to Dark Balsamic Vinegar itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Frozen foods supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
2 of 9 linked records have some flagged component
All 9 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.
