Reading this ingredient record

Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood

This is a mixed product neighborhood: 2 of 9 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare Cheesy Hash Browns Creamy Cheese Sauce With Shredded Potatoes, Cheesy; Cheesy Potatoes, Bacon Scalloped; Flag Coconut Bar to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 35–100 score range to Sodium Bisulfite As A Preservative itself. The ingredient most often sits near the end of the captured list, and Undefined supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.

2 of 9 linked records have some flagged component

All 8 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 35–100 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.
