What this page can and cannot answer

Audit the co-occurring flags first

100% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Dark Chocolate Flavored Base as the trigger. Open records such as Dark Chocolate & Vanilla Bean Bold Dark Chocolate Ice Cream Paired With Sweet Vanilla Bean Real Premium Ice Cream, Dark Chocolate & Vanilla Bean; Queen Of Hearts Ice Cream; White Lightning Ice Cream and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 89.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 23% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

100% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 5 of 5 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.

Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
