Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 103 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Kosher Baby Dills Pickles; Hamburger Dill Chips; Bread & Butter Sweet Chips Pickles; 15.9% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 96.7/100. 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 63 of 103 tracked Fresh Finds records (61.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 40 cannot be screened, so the 96.7/100 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.

Polysorbate 80 is the flagged ingredient Fresh Finds uses most
Across the 63 Fresh Finds products scored here, Polysorbate 80 appears in 4. Only 719 other brands here use it (2.0%), 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 | Fresh Finds products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Polysorbate 80 | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Aspartame | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Yellow 5 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 2 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
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 Fresh Finds 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 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.
