Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 116 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Raspberry pecan dressing; Lite Italian Dressing & Marinade; Ken's steak house lite raspberry walnut vinaigrette; 28.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 94.3/100.

Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 82 of 116 tracked Ken's Steak House records (70.7%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 34 cannot be screened, so the 94.3/100 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.

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Ken's Steak House 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 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.
