Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Light Red Kidney Beans; Pinto Beans - Low Sodium; Light Red Kidney Beans in Brine. Across 18 tracked products, the mean is 100.0/100 and 0.0% 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.

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 15 concern-sorted Mother's Maid 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 (6 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.
