Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Lemon pepper seasoning; Lower sodium no sugar added sliced bacon; broccoli cheddar rice. Across 26 tracked products, the mean is 81.7/100 and 100.0% 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 3 of 26 tracked Hill Country Fair records (11.5%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 23 cannot be screened, so the 81.7/100 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.

Hill Country Fair relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 3 Hill Country Fair products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 1. 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 | Hill Country Fair products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Trans Fat | 1 | FDA ban effective 2018-06-18 · Restricted: Federal (FDA banned) |
| Yellow 5 | 1 | 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.
