It is not problem of EF. It is common entity-relationship task. You must simply improve your model.
You can for example divide Product into two entities: ProductDefinition ProductInstance.
Maybe this will be a bit easier. Additionally I cant see the relation between Vendor and Ingredient, or Product and Ingredient.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
