Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 1 of 3 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Bubly Burst Peach Mango; Dannon, danimals, smoothie max, rainbow sherbert burst; Fruit Wave H2o, Flavored Water, Green Apple to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 70–100 score range to Malic Acid Potassium Sorbate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
1 of 3 linked records have some flagged component
All 3 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.
