Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 81 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Chicken breast; Cherry Tomatoes; Wholegrain Wheat Biscuits; 33.3% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 98.3/100. 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 3 of 81 tracked Dunnes Stores records (3.7%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 78 cannot be screened, so the 98.3/100 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.
