Jelly Belly Candy Company relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 31 Jelly Belly Candy Company products scored here, Red 40 appears in 20. It is used by 2,397 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.

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 31 concern-sorted Jelly Belly Candy Company 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 (16 ingredients and 25/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
