What this page can and cannot answer
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 431 of 1616 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 100% apple juice; 100% Cranberry Juice; 100% Juice Blend to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 0–100 score range to Vegetable Juice itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Snacks supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
431 of 1,616 linked records have some flagged component
All 1614 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.
What else is usually in the same product as Vegetable Juice
Across the 1,616 products on this site that list Vegetable Juice, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
