Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 237 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Chocolate Nut Mix; Chewy tropical poppables candy, tropical poppables; Penguins & Polar Bears Gummi Candy; 35.3% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 88.0/100. Open those outliers first, then compare neighboring formulations. The aggregate does not establish recall status, allergen suitability, or the composition of an item outside this snapshot.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 116 of 237 tracked 7 Select records (48.9%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 121 cannot be screened, so the 88.0/100 mean describes the labelled subset rather than the whole brand.
Next check: use the product rows below to verify the labelled subset, then compare the current package for any unscored item.

7 Select relies most on Yellow 5, an industry staple
Across the 116 7 Select products scored here, Yellow 5 appears in 14. It is used by 2,320 other brands in this database (6.6% of them), so its presence says more about the category than about this brand. A flag records that a named source raised a concern about an ingredient. It is not a finding that a product is unsafe to eat.
| Flagged ingredient | 7 Select products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow 5 | 14 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 40 | 10 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 9 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Sodium Nitrite | 8 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Yellow 6 | 8 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 6 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Carrageenan | 6 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| TBHQ | 3 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
Counts are products in this database whose ingredient list names the flagged ingredient. Flags come from FDA enforcement actions, CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings and US state ingredient laws; see the methodology for how each source is applied.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted 7 Select records shown below. Horizontal position is the number of resolved ingredients on that product's stored label; vertical position is its source-derived screening score. The dashed medians (14.5 ingredients and 85/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
