Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Oriental Rice Cracker; Good livin, soda, cherry cola; Gummi Worms. Across 12 tracked products, the mean is 97.5/100 and 16.7% 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.

Good Livin' relies most on Blue 1, an industry staple
Across the 12 Good Livin' products scored here, Blue 1 appears in 1. It is used by 1,963 other brands in this database (5.6% 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 | Good Livin' products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Blue 1 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
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 12 concern-sorted Good Livin' 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 (7 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.
