Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 193 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Slow-Roasted Pork With Sauce Packet, Spiced Jerk; Top,Ext,Ital Saus,3%Tvp,Fs,28Pc/Oz,2/5#Z; Saus,Pty,58%Ln,Sm,1.5Oz,12#,Z; 69.5% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 86.9/100. 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 141 of 193 tracked Farmland records (73.1%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 52 cannot be screened, so the 86.9/100 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.

Sodium Nitrite is the flagged ingredient Farmland uses most
Across the 141 Farmland products scored here, Sodium Nitrite appears in 50. Only 1,491 other brands here use it (4.2%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Farmland products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium Nitrite | 50 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Propyl Gallate | 20 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| BHT | 18 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| BHA | 8 | Restricted: California (warning required under Prop 65) |
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Polysorbate 80 | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrate | 1 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
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 50 concern-sorted Farmland 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 (8 ingredients and 82.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
