Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 180 of 398 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Apples yogurt dip; Blue raspberry, redberry, sour patch kids low fat yogurt, blue raspberry, redberry; blueberry patch to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 65–100 score range to Potassium Sorbate Added To Maintain Freshness itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Dairies supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
180 of 398 linked records have some flagged component
All 398 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 65–100 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.
