Reading this ingredient record
Use prevalence before concern
Only 3.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Herring Fillets spans 14 named brands and is led by the Seafood group. Start with Consup N.A., Inc., Delicious Herring Fillets In Spicy Mustard Sauce; Delicious herring fillets in mustard sauce a la dijon; Herring when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
14 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 25 of 31 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?
