How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 455 of 1669 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 10 Grain Hot Cereal; 100% Whole Grain Quick Cooking Bulgur Wheat; 12g protein meal bar, double chocolate to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Whole Grain Wheat itself. The ingredient most often sits near the top of the list, so it is typically one of the larger components by weight, and Plant-based foods and beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
All 1648 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.
