How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
100% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Mint Candy Pieces as the trigger. Open records such as Peppermint flavored ice cream with chocolaty wafers sandwiches and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 90.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 12% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
100% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 1 of 1 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
