Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 322 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Lunds & byerlys, fall m&m cookies, all-butter; Lunds & byerlys, m & m, cookie; Lunds & byerlys, shortcake, lemon & cream; 30.9% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 89.8/100. 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 175 of 322 tracked Lunds & Byerlys records (54.3%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 147 cannot be screened, so the 89.8/100 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.

Lunds & Byerlys relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 175 Lunds & Byerlys products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 16. It is used by 2,390 other brands in this database (6.8% 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.

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Lunds & Byerlys 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 (16 ingredients and 75/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
