Portfolio reading
Read the compact shelf sample
This compact set is concrete enough to inspect item by item: Keke honey cookies 5 pack; Corn Bread; Chocolate Chip Muffin. Its 70.0/100 average and 100.0% flagged-product share summarize just 3 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 1 of 3 tracked Cruz Bakery records (33.3%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 2 cannot be screened, so the 70.0/100 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.

Cruz Bakery: 3 products tracked, 1 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 70.0/100, 100.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 33.3% 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 →
