Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 400 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Annie's Organic Brown Sugar Cinnamon Toaster Pastries with Frosting 6 Count; Uncured Pepperoni Pizza; Organic BBQ Sauce - Sweet & Spicy; 1.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 99.9/100. 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 292 of 400 tracked Annie's records (73%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 108 cannot be screened, so the 99.9/100 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.

Annie's relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 292 Annie's products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 2. It is used by 3,551 other brands in this database (10.1% 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 | Annie's products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 2 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
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 Annie's 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 (15.5 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.
