How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 2817 of 5989 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 1/2 Marble Grad Cake With Red Borders; 10 Flour Tortillas; 12 Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Bleached Wheat Flour itself. The ingredient most often sits near the top of the list, so it is typically one of the larger components by weight, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
All 5894 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.
