How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 12 of 28 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Flintstones Complete Vitamins; Iced Creme Filled Chocolate Cakes With Sprinkles, Iced Creme Filled Chocolate; Milk Chocolate Graham Crackers, Milk Chocolate to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Fd&c Yellow #6 Aluminum Lake itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
12 of 28 linked records have some flagged component
All 28 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.
