Reading this ingredient record
Audit the co-occurring flags first
59.4% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Propylene Glycol Mono & Diesters Of Fatty Acids as the trigger. Open records such as 3 Pack Chocolate Chip Muffins; Arnie's, assorted cupcakes; Arnie's, caramel pecan danish coffeecake and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 72.3/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 49% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
59.4% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 106 of 106 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
