What the data can answer

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: 20 of 60 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare All American Half Sub; Bowl Mashed Potato; Brown rice, green chile sauce, southwest style white chicken meat, four-cheese blend, roasted corn and black beans to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Four Cheese Blend itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Meals supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
20 of 60 linked records have some flagged component
All 60 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.
