| BHT | 6 | Preservative with a recorded concern |

| Aspartame | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted B&G Foods North America Inc. records shown below.

The dashed medians (14 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.
