Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 48 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Turtles Original Pecan; Demet's, turtles, unwrapped mini clusters, peanut- chocolate- caramel; Demet's, turtles, the original caramel nut cluster; 90.5% 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.

Demet's relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 42 Demet's products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 38. 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.
| Flagged ingredient | Demet's products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 38 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
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 42 concern-sorted Demet's 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 (17 ingredients and 95/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
