What the Data Says About

Nestle: 211 products tracked, avg safety score 97.0/100, 15.2% of catalog has at least one flagged ingredient. Dye pledge: No.

Score ≥95 places Nestle in the top-decile safety tier — ingredient profiles dominated by FDA/CSPI low-concern items. Scoring methodology + dye-pledge context →

Safety scores weigh each product's ingredient list against FDA additive guidance and Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) concern ratings, then average across the brand's tracked catalog. A flagged ingredient is not a recall or a ban — it marks an additive that one of these authorities lists for caution, such as a synthetic dye, a nitrite preservative, or a high-intensity sweetener. Scores shift as brands reformulate and as the underlying datasets refresh, so a brand-level average is a starting point, not a verdict — open the individual product pages for the detail behind any number.
