What the data can answer

How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 10.7% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Organic Whole Grain Barley spans 44 named brands and is led by the Plant-based foods and beverages group. Start with 15 Grain & Seed Bread; 19 grain bread, 19 grain; 21 Grains & Seeds Thin Sliced Organic Bread when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 98.3/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
44 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 91 of 111 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.
How do the sampled products compare?
Each point is one of the 16 sampled products listed below: its overall safety score against how many separately flagged ingredients its label carries. Bubble size is the number of ingredient rows the label actually resolved to.
