Harris-Teeter Inc. relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 148 Harris-Teeter Inc. products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 12. 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 | Harris-Teeter Inc. products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 12 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 8 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Aspartame | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Polysorbate 80 | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrite | 3 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Sucralose | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 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.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Harris-Teeter Inc. 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 (13.5 ingredients and 95/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
