Portfolio reading
Read the compact shelf sample
This compact set is concrete enough to inspect item by item: Lemon, cherry, berry, orange, apple extra sour supercharged chewy candy, lemon, cherry, berry, orange, apple; Supercharged chewy candy; Supercharged chewy candy. Its 2.0/100 average and 100.0% flagged-product share summarize just 8 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 5 of 8 tracked Cry Baby records (62.5%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 3 cannot be screened, so the 2.0/100 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.

Cry Baby relies most on Blue 1, an industry staple
Across the 5 Cry Baby products scored here, Blue 1 appears in 5. 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 | Cry Baby products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Blue 1 | 5 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 5 | 5 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 5 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 40 | 4 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 2 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 3 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| BHT | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
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 5 concern-sorted Cry Baby 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 (24 ingredients and 0/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
