Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 154 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins NSA SWEET RELISH; Sweet Gherkins; BREAD & BUTTER CHIPS; 91.6% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 78.7/100. 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 119 of 154 tracked Mt. Olive records (77.3%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 35 cannot be screened, so the 78.7/100 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.

Polysorbate 80 is the flagged ingredient Mt. Olive uses most
Across the 119 Mt. Olive products scored here, Polysorbate 80 appears in 96. Only 719 other brands here use it (2.0%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Mt. Olive products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Polysorbate 80 | 96 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Yellow 5 | 80 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Sucralose | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
Counts are products in this database whose ingredient list names the flagged ingredient. Flags come from FDA enforcement actions, CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings and US state ingredient laws; see the methodology for how each source is applied.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Mt. Olive 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 (11 ingredients and 70/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
