What this page can and cannot answer
Audit the co-occurring flags first
81.5% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Glyceryl Monooleate as the trigger. Open records such as Apple Crumb Coffee Cake; Apple decadent danish; Dry Chorizos and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 74.4/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 75% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
81.5% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 27 of 27 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

What function does Glyceryl Monooleate serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Glyceryl Monooleate is recorded as a anticaking agent or free-flow agent, drying agent, emulsifier or emulsifier salt, flavoring agent or adjuvant, humectant in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
