Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 162 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Mega Meat Thin Crust Pizza; Artisan Style Crust Pizza - Salami & Basil Pesto; Rising Crust - Three meat pizza; 40.7% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 87.5/100. 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 54 of 162 tracked Mama Cozzi's records (33.3%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 108 cannot be screened, so the 87.5/100 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.

Sodium Nitrite is the flagged ingredient Mama Cozzi's uses most
Across the 54 Mama Cozzi's products scored here, Sodium Nitrite appears in 14. Only 1,491 other brands here use it (4.2%), 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 | Mama Cozzi's products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium Nitrite | 14 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| BHA | 12 | Restricted: California (warning required under Prop 65) |
| BHT | 12 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Caramel Coloring | 8 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 7 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrate | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
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.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Mama Cozzi's 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 (40 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.
