Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 250 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins YoCrunch; Dannon Light Fit Greek Yogurt; ORIGINAL vanilla; 30.5% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 95.5/100. Open those outliers first, then compare neighboring formulations. The aggregate does not establish recall status, allergen suitability, or the composition of an item outside this snapshot.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 82 of 250 tracked Danone records (32.8%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 168 cannot be screened, so the 95.5/100 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 Danone
Danone: 250 products tracked, 82 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 95.5/100, 30.5% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.

Danone relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 82 Danone products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 12. It is used by 2,390 other brands in this database (6.8% 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 | Danone products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 12 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sucralose | 8 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 2 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Blue 1 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 40 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 2 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Polysorbate 80 | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
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 50 concern-sorted Danone 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 (15 ingredients and 97.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.

The outlined point is YoCrunch, the displayed record with the most flagged ingredients (9). Bubble size represents flagged ingredient count plus one, so zero-flagged products remain visible. The score is derived from FDA SAFFA and CSPI fields; this chart does not establish recall status, dietary suitability, or a health outcome.
