Portfolio reading
Coverage is the first question
Only 2 products passed the catalog's display-quality filter even though 2 records carry this brand label. That mismatch is the main finding: the roll-up is too dependent on sparse or noisy upstream names for a confident brand-wide conclusion. The readable evidence is Light & Crispy Fried Calamari Snack and Light & Crispy Fried Calamari Snack. Verify a current package rather than extending this average beyond those records.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 1 of 2 tracked Mama’s Choice records (50%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 1 cannot be screened, so the 85.0/100 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 Mama’s Choice
Mama’s Choice: 2 products tracked, 1 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 85.0/100, 100.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 50% 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 →
Aspartame is the flagged ingredient Mama’s Choice uses most
Across the 1 Mama’s Choice products scored here, Aspartame appears in 1. Only 501 other brands here use it (1.4%), 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’s Choice products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Aspartame | 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.
