Amounts are mostly stated by products named after the ingredient, so they may lean towards token amounts.
Of the products containing it, 22 list it before the 1% line and 164 after it (usually 1% or less).
Where no amount is stated, a product listing it early reaches the study amount about 56% of the time, one listing it late about 5%.
