Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 1,130 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins S'mores cake bites; Frosted sugar cookies; Shortbread cookies with fudge-dipped cookie center; 35.3% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 86.1/100. 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.

Market Pantry relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 978 Market Pantry products scored here, Red 40 appears in 125. It is used by 2,397 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.
| Flagged ingredient | Market Pantry products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 125 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Market Pantry 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 (36 ingredients and 0/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
