Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 333 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Classic Trail Mix; Sweet & salty trail mix; Atkins, endulge, chocolate peanut candies; 85.4% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 80.6/100. 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 164 of 333 tracked Atkins records (49.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 169 cannot be screened, so the 80.6/100 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.
What the Data Says About Atkins
Atkins: 333 products tracked, 164 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 80.6/100, 85.4% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 49.2% of tracked records, this average is a description of the labelled subset, not a brand-wide tier. The coverage gap is the dominant limitation. Scoring methodology + dye-pledge context →

Sucralose is the flagged ingredient Atkins uses most
Across the 164 Atkins products scored here, Sucralose appears in 125. Only 1,692 other brands here use it (4.8%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Atkins products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 125 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Carrageenan | 44 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 36 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Caramel Coloring | 15 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Blue 1 | 6 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 2 | 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) |
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 Atkins 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 (48 ingredients and 70/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
