Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 54 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Cookie dough; Mrs. fields, confetti cupcakes; Mrs. fields, assorted chocolates; 26.2% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 88.5/100. 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.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 42 of 54 tracked Mrs. Fields records (77.8%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 12 cannot be screened, so the 88.5/100 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.

Mrs. Fields relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 42 Mrs. Fields products scored here, Red 40 appears in 8. 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.

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 41 concern-sorted Mrs. Fields 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 (34 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.
