Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range

Across 21 tracked products, the mean is 82.9/100 and 33.3% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches.

Arizona Snack Company relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 21 Arizona Snack Company products scored here, Red 40 appears in 4. 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 | Arizona Snack Company products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 4 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 5 | 4 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| BHT | 1 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 1 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 21 concern-sorted Arizona Snack Company 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 (10 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.
