Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 210 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Zombies Gummy Candy; Zombies Gummy Candy; Frankford, sponge bob square pants candy mix, original, green apple, grape, cherry, blue raspberry; 60.3% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 61.4/100. 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 136 of 210 tracked Frankford records (64.8%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 74 cannot be screened, so the 61.4/100 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.

Frankford relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 136 Frankford products scored here, Red 40 appears in 65. It is used by 2,397 other brands in this database (6.8% 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 | Frankford products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 65 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 53 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

| Yellow 6 | 29 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 3 | 6 | FDA ban effective 2027-01-15 · Restricted: California (AB 418; effective 2027-01-01); Federal (FDA; effective 2027-01-15) |
| Caramel Coloring | 3 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Sucralose | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Frankford 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 (11 ingredients and 15/100) 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 Zombies Gummy Candy, the displayed record with the most flagged ingredients (6). Bubble size represents flagged ingredient count plus one, so zero-flagged products remain visible. The score is derived from FDA SAFFA and CSPI fields; this chart does not establish recall status, dietary suitability, or a health outcome.
