Audit the co-occurring flags first

The 35.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 52% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
100% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.
