How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 18 of 53 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 4c, bread crumbs, seasoned; Assorted Creme Wafers; Assorted Creme Wafers to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil Shortening itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Undefined supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
18 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 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.
