Source-backed answer

Reading this ingredient record
Audit the co-occurring flags first
75% of the linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, making co-occurrence the dominant follow-up question. That figure does not identify Vitamin D-2 as the trigger. Open records such as Almondmilk; Almondmilk; Cake and inspect which ingredient row carries the caution marker. The 96.3/100 product average is therefore a triage signal for this surrounding formulation set, not an ingredient verdict. Its 59% average label depth helps locate the term when checking the package.
75% of linked products contain a separately flagged ingredient
Processing is unusually concentrated here: Group 4 accounts for 12 of 12 NOVA-tagged records. That describes the surrounding products, not the substance. For a useful comparison, hold category and processing level constant, then inspect which named component changes alongside the caution flag; otherwise the product mix will confound the ingredient question.
Next check: open the lowest-scoring linked formulation and locate the exact caution-marked component.

Vitamin D-2 — common follow-ups
How should I read safety signals when Vitamin D-2 sits in heavily flagged products? ▼
75% of linked products contain at least one separately flagged ingredient, so the first task is locating which row carries the caution marker — not assuming Vitamin D-2 is the trigger. Where a source rating exists, Vitamin D-2 scores 3/5 on this site's screening scale with FDA SAFFA status "GRAS". None of that replaces a product-, dose-, allergy-, or person-specific determination.
Which product shelves show up most often with Vitamin D-2? ▼
Vitamin D-2 ranks in the top decile by product count (#13,357 of 247,206), appearing in 12 indexed products led by Plant-based foods and beverages. The sample list below is a slice of that footprint, not the full universe.
What function does Vitamin D-2 serve when it appears beside other flagged additives? ▼
Vitamin D-2 is recorded as a nutrient supplement in source technical-effect fields. In high co-flag products, that function coexists with other caution-marked components — inspect the full list rather than isolating this role.
