Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 511 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Dark Chocolate Almond Sea Salt Ice Cream Bar; Kind bar frozen; Chocolate Chunk Energy Bar, Chocolate Chunk; 0.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 100.0/100. 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 328 of 511 tracked Kind records (64.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 183 cannot be screened, so the 100.0/100 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.
What the Data Says About Kind
Kind: 511 products tracked, 328 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 100.0/100, 0.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 64.2% of tracked records, this average is a description of the labelled subset, not a brand-wide tier. The coverage gap is the dominant limitation. Scoring methodology + dye-pledge context →

No flagged ingredients across Kind
None of the 328 Kind products scored here list an ingredient flagged by the FDA, by CSPI's Chemical Cuisine ratings, or by a US state ingredient law. Among the 1,987 brands with 20 or more scored products, 74.6% carry at least one flag, so this puts Kind in the minority. It reflects the ingredient lists on file rather than a certification, and a product added later could change it.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Kind 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 (17 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.
