Concord Foods relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 51 Concord Foods products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 8. 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.

|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 8 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Concord Foods 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 (13.5 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.
