Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Gourmet Antipasto Deli-Cut-O Diced Prosciutto; Prosciutto Provolone Cheese & Breadsticks; Sopressata. Across 11 tracked products, the mean is 90.0/100 and 33.3% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches. Start with the lowest-scoring product rows and confirm the ingredient panel when a specific additive matters.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 6 of 11 tracked Del Duca records (54.5%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 5 cannot be screened, so the 90.0/100 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.

Sodium Nitrate is the flagged ingredient Del Duca uses most
Across the 6 Del Duca products scored here, Sodium Nitrate appears in 2. Only 291 other brands here use it (0.8%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Del Duca products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium Nitrate | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Sodium Nitrite | 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.

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 6 concern-sorted Del Duca 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 (10 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.
