What this page can and cannot answer
Use prevalence before concern
Only 2.2% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Pistachio Kernels spans 24 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with Almonds, raisins, pistachios, dried cranberries california medley, almonds, raisins, pistachios, dried cranberries; California Medley; California Medley when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
24 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 28 of 35 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
