Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 130 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Jewel osco, cookies, white frosted sugar; Jewel osco, frosted sugar cookies, chocolate; Jewel osco, energy mix; 16.9% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 91.1/100. 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 65 of 130 tracked Jewel Osco records (50%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 65 cannot be screened, so the 91.1/100 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.

Titanium Dioxide is the flagged ingredient Jewel Osco uses most
Across the 65 Jewel Osco products scored here, Titanium Dioxide appears in 9. 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 | 9 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Blue 1 | 4 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

| Carrageenan | 3 | 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.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Jewel Osco 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 (10 ingredients and 100/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
