Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Confetti Cookie Mix; Sugar cookie with sprinkles mix; B'Day Truffle Mix. Across 30 tracked products, the mean is 60.6/100 and 50.0% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches. Start with the lowest-scoring product rows and confirm the ingredient panel when a specific additive matters.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 8 of 30 tracked Milk Bar records (26.7%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 22 cannot be screened, so the 60.6/100 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.

Milk Bar relies most on Blue 1, an industry staple
Across the 8 Milk Bar products scored here, Blue 1 appears in 3. It is used by 1,963 other brands in this database (5.6% 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 | Milk Bar products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Blue 1 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 3 | 3 | FDA ban effective 2027-01-15 · Restricted: California (AB 418; effective 2027-01-01); Federal (FDA; effective 2027-01-15) |
| Red 40 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

| Yellow 6 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 1 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 8 concern-sorted Milk Bar 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 (38.5 ingredients and 92.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
