Portfolio reading

Use the distribution, then open the outliers

With 251 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Pancake Mix; Pancakes Mix; Pancakes; 0.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 100.0/100. 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 4 of 251 tracked Denny's records (1.6%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 247 cannot be screened, so the 100.0/100 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.

What the Data Says About Denny's

Denny's: 251 products tracked, 4 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 100.0/100, 0.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.

Because ingredient lists cover only 1.6% 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 →

Visible product sample

Label complexity does not determine the screening result

Each point is one of the 4 concern-sorted Denny'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 (12 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.

The outlined point is Pancake Mix, the displayed record with the most flagged ingredients (0). Bubble size represents flagged ingredient count plus one, so zero-flagged products remain visible.
