No flagged ingredients across Mueller's
None of the 66 Mueller's products scored here list an ingredient flagged by the FDA, by CSPI's Chemical Cuisine ratings, or by a US state ingredient law. Among the 1,987 brands with 20 or more scored products, 74.6% carry at least one flag, so this puts Mueller's in the minority. It reflects the ingredient lists on file rather than a certification, and a product added later could change it.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Mueller'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 (7 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.
