How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 15.6% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Heat Treated After Culturing spans 13 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with Apple, Banana & Strawberry Yogurt; Bay valley foods, greek style yogurt protein smoothie base mix, honey; Bay valley foods, llc, greek style yogurt smoothie base mix, strawberry when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 94.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
13 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 32 of 44 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.
