What the data can answer
Sweetened Condensed Milk appears in 1,373 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
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 624 of 1373 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 5 Adorable Assorted Truffle Pig Chocolates; 7" double layer german chocolate cake; A Piece Of Switzerland to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Sweetened Condensed Milk itself. The ingredient most often sits in the upper half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
624 of 1,373 linked records have some flagged component
All 1367 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.
