Acesulfame Potassium is the flagged ingredient Old Orchard uses most
Across the 104 Old Orchard products scored here, Acesulfame Potassium appears in 27. Only 929 other brands here use it (2.6%), 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 | Old Orchard products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Acesulfame Potassium | 27 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sucralose | 27 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 9 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 5 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Yellow 5 | 5 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

| Blue 1 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
Counts are products in this database whose ingredient list names the flagged ingredient. Flags come from FDA enforcement actions, CSPI Chemical Cuisine ratings and US state ingredient laws; see the methodology for how each source is applied.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Old Orchard 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 (11 ingredients and 70/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
