Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 84 of 172 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 58% vegetable oil spread; Apple decadent danish; Barista's Choice, Golden Cheese Ring Cake, Cream Cheese to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Potassium Sorbate And Citric Acid itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Frozen foods supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
84 of 172 linked records have some flagged component
All 171 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.
