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 FIT & PREPD Naked Pulled Pork Burrito; Lasagne four layers of egg pasta with grana padano bechamel; mediterranean veg sauce to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 85–100 score range to Passata itself. The ingredient most often sits near the top of the captured list, and Meals supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
1 of 3 linked records have some flagged component
All 2 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 85–100 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.
