Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range

Across 11 tracked products, the mean is 81.7/100 and 55.6% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches. Start with the lowest-scoring product rows and confirm the ingredient panel when a specific additive matters.

BHA is the flagged ingredient Bagel Bites uses most
Across the 9 Bagel Bites products scored here, BHA appears in 4. Only 560 other brands here use it (1.6%), 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 | Bagel Bites products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| BHA | 4 | Restricted: California (warning required under Prop 65) |
| Sodium Nitrite | 3 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| BHT | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Sodium Nitrate | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
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.
