Portfolio reading

Use the distribution, then open the outliers

With 91 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Filipino Style Tomato Sauce; Chunkey Mixed Fruit; Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce; 5.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 98.5/100. 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 60 of 91 tracked Del Monte Quality records (65.9%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 31 cannot be screened, so the 98.5/100 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 Del Monte Quality

Del Monte Quality: 91 products tracked, 60 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 98.5/100, 5.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.

Because ingredient lists cover only 65.9% 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 →

Del Monte Quality relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple

Across the 60 Del Monte Quality products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 2. 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.

Visible product sample

Label complexity does not determine the screening result

Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Del Monte Quality 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 (4 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.

  • Start with Filipino Style Tomato Sauce, the displayed product with the most flagged ingredients (3) in this sample. Open the outlier product
  • Caramel Coloring appears in 2 scored Del Monte Quality products, review why each source flags it before treating the brand average as uniform. Review flagged ingredient counts
