Most people seem to be fan of 'fat' models: put all your code that handles data in your models and keep your controllers thin and easy to read. Since your function parses data I would put it into the model indeed. If you need it in every model/controller, you can add it to app_model. You could also create a behaviour (the model's equivalent of a component).
