Portfolio reading
Read the compact shelf sample
This compact set is concrete enough to inspect item by item: Cafe, hot cocoa; Cafe escapes, hot cocoa, k-cup packs, dark chocolate; Cafe escapes, hot cocoa, milk chocolate. Its 74.2/100 average and 100.0% flagged-product share summarize just 6 records, so a single reformulation can move both figures sharply. Use the product links as a checklist; the brand aggregate is orientation, not a recall, allergy clearance, or promise about products missing from Open Food Facts.

Sucralose is the flagged ingredient Cafe Escapes uses most
Across the 6 Cafe Escapes products scored here, Sucralose appears in 6. 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 | Cafe Escapes products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 6 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
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 6 concern-sorted Cafe Escapes 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 (16 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.
