No flagged ingredients across Brownwood Farms

Among the 1,987 brands with 20 or more scored products, 74.6% carry at least one flag, so this puts Brownwood Farms in the minority. It reflects the ingredient lists on file rather than a certification, and a product added later could change it.

The dashed medians (7 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.
