Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Creative Classics Salad Kit; Chopped Asian Salad Kit; Kit Caesar. Across 26 tracked products, the mean is 98.3/100 and 11.5% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches. Start with the lowest-scoring product rows and confirm the ingredient panel when a specific additive matters.

Fresh Express Incorporated relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 26 Fresh Express Incorporated products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 2. It is used by 3,551 other brands in this database (10.1% 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 | Fresh Express Incorporated products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 2 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 2 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Blue 1 | 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.

The dashed medians (4 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.
