Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Popcorn; Herr’s Honey BBQ Chips; Cheddar horseradish kettle chips. Across 11 tracked products, the mean is 50.0/100 and 50.0% 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 2 of 11 tracked Herrs records (18.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 9 cannot be screened, so the 50.0/100 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.

Herrs relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 2 Herrs products scored here, Red 40 appears in 1. It is used by 2,535 other brands in this database (6.9% 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 | Herrs products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 5 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
