Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Happy Easter Sour Jelly Beans; Oh sugar!, happy birthday sour jelly beans; Sour Jelly Beans. Across 25 tracked products, the mean is 70.2/100 and 52.4% 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 Oh Sugar uses most
Across the 21 Oh Sugar products scored here, Titanium Dioxide appears in 8. 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.

|---|---|---|

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 20 concern-sorted Oh Sugar 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 (16.5 ingredients and 85/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
