Portfolio reading
Coverage is the first question
Only 2 products passed the catalog's display-quality filter even though 2 records carry this brand label. That mismatch is the main finding: the roll-up is too dependent on sparse or noisy upstream names for a confident brand-wide conclusion. The readable evidence is Cheese Fries and Thin 'N Crispy Potato Fries. Verify a current package rather than extending this average beyond those records.

Discount Inc. relies most on Yellow 5, an industry staple
Across the 2 Discount Inc. products scored here, Yellow 5 appears in 1. It is used by 2,320 other brands in this database (6.6% 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 | Discount Inc. products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow 5 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
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.
