Reading this ingredient record

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 1 of 4 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Chicago Authentic Deep Dish Pizza; Chicago Authentic Deep Dish Pizza; Deep Dish Pizza to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 70–100 score range to Light Tomato Puree itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Meals supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

1 of 4 linked records have some flagged component

All 4 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 70–100 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.
