What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 4 of 19 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Cranberry Pomegranate Juice Cocktail In Blend Of One Other Juice From Concentrate; Fruit On The Bottom Cottage Cheese; Hibiscus Green Tea to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 50–100 score range to Natural Flavors And Citric Acid itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
4 of 19 linked records have some flagged component
All 19 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 50–100 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.
