How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 15 of 48 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare be'f burger; Beefless Ground; Chipotle Lime Flavored Plant-Based Chick'n Tenders to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 95–100 score range to From Plant Sources itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Plant-based foods and beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
15 of 48 linked records have some flagged component
All 47 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 95–100 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.
