How to use this page
Audit the co-occurring flags first
100% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Red 40 Watermelon Lemonade Citric Acid as the trigger. Open records such as Lemonade Variety Drink Mix and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 70.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 90% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
100% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 1 of 1 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.
