|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 1 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |

The dashed medians (35.5 ingredients and 100/100) divide this displayed sample only.
