What the data can answer
Dark Meat Turkey appears in 5 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. 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.

Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 2 of 5 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Sliced Turkey Pepperoni; Turkey bacon; Uncured Turkey Bacon to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 55–100 score range to Dark Meat Turkey itself. The ingredient most often sits near the top of the captured list, and Meats and their products supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
2 of 5 linked records have some flagged component
All 4 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 55–100 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.
