Margaret Holmes relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple

Across the 69 Margaret Holmes products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 1. It is used by 3,551 other brands in this database (10.1% 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 Margaret Holmes 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 (7 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.
