Portfolio reading
Read the compact shelf sample
This compact set is concrete enough to inspect item by item: Heritage Candy Company, Candy, French Burnt Peanuts; Heritage Candy Company, Cranberry & Fruit Blend; Heritage Candy Company, Yogurt Pretzels. Its 85.0/100 average and 37.5% flagged-product share summarize just 8 records, so a single reformulation can move both figures sharply. Use the product links as a checklist; the brand aggregate is orientation, not a recall, allergy clearance, or promise about products missing from Open Food Facts.

Titanium Dioxide is the flagged ingredient Heritage Candy Company Inc. uses most
Across the 8 Heritage Candy Company Inc. products scored here, Titanium Dioxide appears in 2. Only 1,379 other brands here use it (3.9%), 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.

|---|---|---|
| Titanium Dioxide | 2 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Blue 2 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
