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 Salts Of Fatty Acids as the trigger. Open records such as 8in german chocolate cake; Labree's Bakery, Home Style Marble Swirl Cake; Wintergreen Mints and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 75.0/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 39% 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 4 of 4 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.

Where does Salts Of Fatty Acids show up across the catalog? ▼
Salts Of Fatty Acids sits above the median for catalog prevalence (4 products, #28,812 of 247,206) across 2 named brands. Category mix varies — use the linked records rather than treating any single shelf as representative.
What function does Salts Of Fatty Acids serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Salts Of Fatty Acids is recorded as a anticaking agent or free-flow agent, emulsifier or emulsifier salt, formulation aid in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
