Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 107 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Alessi bakeries, red velvet cupcakes; Italian organic spaghetti; Italian organic linguine; 1.3% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 99.7/100. 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 79 of 107 tracked Alessi records (73.8%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 28 cannot be screened, so the 99.7/100 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.

Alessi relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 79 Alessi products scored here, Red 40 appears in 1. It is used by 2,397 other brands in this database (6.8% 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 | Alessi products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
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 Alessi 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 (2.5 ingredients and 100/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
