Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 20 of 53 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Bean & Cheese Burrito; Beef & Bean/Green Chili Burrito; Beef Franks to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 60–100 score range to Or Less Modified Food Starch itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Meats and their products supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
20 of 53 linked records have some flagged component
All 52 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 60–100 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.
