Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Mrs. Freshley's 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 (51 ingredients and 75/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
