Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers

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.

Kaskey's relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 40 Kaskey's products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 10. It is used by 3,551 other brands in this database (10.1% 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 | Kaskey's products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 10 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Sodium Nitrite | 6 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Titanium Dioxide | 5 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| BHA | 1 | Restricted: California (warning required under Prop 65) |
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 40 concern-sorted Kaskey's 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 (22.5 ingredients and 97.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
