Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by French Burnt Peanuts; Nuts for you, sour neon gummi worms; Dried Mango. Across 12 tracked products, the mean is 82.1/100 and 25.0% 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.

Nuts For You relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 12 Nuts For You products scored here, Red 40 appears in 2. It is used by 2,397 other brands in this database (6.8% of them), so its presence says more about the category than about this brand. 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.

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 12 concern-sorted Nuts For You 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 (10.5 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.
