Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Mini Red Velvet Caramels; Love Mints; Feeling Hot Cinnamon Mints. Across 21 tracked products, the mean is 85.8/100 and 44.4% 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.

Titanium Dioxide is the flagged ingredient Nassau Candy uses most
Across the 18 Nassau Candy products scored here, Titanium Dioxide appears in 4. Only 1,379 other brands here use it (3.9%), 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 | Nassau Candy products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Titanium Dioxide | 4 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Red 40 | 3 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Aspartame | 2 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Blue 1 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 18 concern-sorted Nassau Candy 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 (12 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.
