Reading this ingredient record
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 19 of 94 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Anthon Berg, Chocolate Coffee Liquers; Anthon Berg, Chocolate Coffee Liqueurs; Anthon Berg, Chocolate Coffee Liqueurs to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Rum itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
19 of 94 linked records have some flagged component
All 89 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 0–100 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Rum
Across the 94 products on this site that list Rum, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
