Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 357 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Sugar Free Syrup; ihop; Lite Syrup; 62.5% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 93.1/100. Open those outliers first, then compare neighboring formulations. The aggregate does not establish recall status, allergen suitability, or the composition of an item outside this snapshot.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 8 of 357 tracked Ihop records (2.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 349 cannot be screened, so the 93.1/100 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.

Ihop relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 8 Ihop products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 5. It is used by 3,742 other brands in this database (10.2% 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 | Ihop products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sucralose | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
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.
