How to use this page

Audit the co-occurring flags first

59.3% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Spices Including Mustard as the trigger. Open records such as Andy Capp's Hot Fries; Baby back ribs flavored chips; Big hot fries and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 88.5/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 48% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.

59.3% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient

Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 24 of 27 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.
