Azodicarbonamide is the flagged ingredient Lewis Bakeries Inc. uses most
Across the 35 Lewis Bakeries Inc. products scored here, Azodicarbonamide appears in 4. Only 218 other brands here use it (0.6%), 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.
| Flagged ingredient | Lewis Bakeries Inc. products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Azodicarbonamide | 4 | Restricted: EU (banned); Australia (banned) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 2 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Sucralose | 1 | 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.

The dashed medians (32 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.
