Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Variety Pack Fruit by the Foot 6 Count Strawberry, Berry and Rainbow Punch; Fruit By The Foot, Fruit Snacks, Space Berry, Space Berry; Minions Colored Rolls Inside Fruit Snack. Across 9 tracked products, the mean is 66.7/100 and 83.3% 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.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 6 of 9 tracked Fruit By The Foot records (66.7%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 3 cannot be screened, so the 66.7/100 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.
