Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 652 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins 9" Pie Crusts Regular Dish; Butterscotch Flavored Baking Chips; Mini Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches; 10.4% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 97.6/100. 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 125 of 652 tracked Bowl & Basket records (19.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 527 cannot be screened, so the 97.6/100 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.

Bowl & Basket relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 125 Bowl & Basket products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 5. 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 | Bowl & Basket products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |

| Yellow 5 | 2 | 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 Bowl & Basket 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 (6.5 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.
