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.

Fruit By The Foot relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 6 Fruit By The Foot products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 5. It is used by 2,390 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 | Fruit By The Foot products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 5 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 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) |
| Yellow 5 | 2 | 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.

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 6 concern-sorted Fruit By The Foot 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 (19 ingredients and 57.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
