What the data can answer
Dried Sweetened Cherries appears in 74 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. 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
Use prevalence before concern
Only 13.5% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Dried Sweetened Cherries spans 31 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with Almond Orchard Delight Trail Mix; Antioxidant fruit, nut & chocolate berry, trail mix; Back to nature, brownie cookies, double chocolate cherry when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 89.1/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
31 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 52 of 68 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
