Ground Turkey
Ground Turkey appears in 97 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer

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.

How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 13.4% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Ground Turkey spans 45 named brands and is led by the Meats and their products group. Start with 93% lean 7% fat ground turkey; 93% Lean Ground Turkey; 93/7 Ground Turkey when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 97.8/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 61 of 87 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.
