What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 9.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Guar Gum Powder spans 5 named brands and is led by the Dietary supplements group. Start with Complete Plant Collagen Builder Creamy Vanilla Bean; Complete Protein; Complete Protein when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.6/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
5 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 11 of 11 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 11 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.
