How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 4.8% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Pulp spans 12 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 100% juice with pulp; 100% Pineapple Juice; 100% Watermelon Juice when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 99.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
12 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 6 of 18 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.
