Portfolio reading
Read the compact shelf sample
This compact set is concrete enough to inspect item by item: Mini Gingerbread House Kit, Gingerbread; Milk Chocolate Game Pieces; Chocolate Edition. Its 75.0/100 average and 25.0% 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.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 4 of 6 tracked Candy Land records (66.7%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 2 cannot be screened, so the 75.0/100 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.
What the Data Says About Candy Land
Candy Land: 6 products tracked, 4 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 75.0/100, 25.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 66.7% of tracked records, this average is a description of the labelled subset, not a brand-wide tier. The coverage gap is the dominant limitation. Scoring methodology + dye-pledge context →
Candy Land relies most on Blue 1, an industry staple
Across the 4 Candy Land products scored here, Blue 1 appears in 1. It is used by 1,963 other brands in this database (5.6% 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 | Candy Land products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Blue 1 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 3 | 1 | FDA ban effective 2027-01-15 · Restricted: California (AB 418; effective 2027-01-01); Federal (FDA; effective 2027-01-15) |
| Red 40 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 1 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Yellow 5 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 1 | 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 4 concern-sorted Candy Land 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 (12 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.
