Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 104 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins La Croix LimonCello; Tangerine Naturally Essenced Sparkling Water; Naturally Essenced Pamplemousse Sparkling Water; 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 69 of 104 tracked La Croix records (66.3%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 35 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.

No flagged ingredients across La Croix
None of the 69 La Croix 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 La Croix in the minority. It reflects the ingredient lists on file rather than a certification, and a product added later could change it.

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted La Croix 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 (2 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.
