This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Custom field groups are displayed on all post edit screens and not just those where they are expected.
Solution:
When you create a Custom Field Group there is an option to specify which post types the field group should be assigned to, and which determines which post edit screens they appear on.

I am creating a support for recipes. The CPT Recipe has custom fields and is connected to the CPT Ingredients which also has a custom field. There is a many-to-many relationship between them that has custom fields.
I expected to see:
Recipe fields accessible in Recipes, Ingredient fields accessible in Ingredients, and the relationship fields available when connecting Ingredients to Recipes (Recipes Ingredients).
Instead, I got:
The table containing links between recipes and ingredients contains all custom fields. The form for adding new ingredients to a recipe also contains all fields. These areas should only contain the relationship fields.

Hi Laurie
I couldn't initially reproduce this locally, but then I removed the post type assignment for my custom field groups and saw the issue.
Meaning, you should go to Toolset > Custom Fields and edit your custom field groups and set the post type to which they belong (see screenshot which shows when they are not set to a particular post type).
I think that will fix the issue, but if not let me know.
