What the data can answer

This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 155 of 383 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Ahold, creamy tomato soup; Authentico spaghetti with meat sauce frozen meal; Bacon, egg & cheese smoke flavored bacon with scrambled eggs & cheddar cheese in a crispy golden crust breakfast stuffed sandwiches, bacon, egg & cheese to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 50–100 score range to Rendered Chicken Fat itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Meals supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
155 of 383 linked records have some flagged component
All 383 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 50–100 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.
