Portfolio reading
Read the compact shelf sample
This compact set is concrete enough to inspect item by item: Polish sausage; Hot beef polish sausage; Turkey Sausage And Cheddar Chesse Smoke Stack. Its 92.0/100 average and 80.0% flagged-product share summarize just 8 records, so a single reformulation can move both figures sharply. Use the product links as a checklist; the brand aggregate is orientation, not a recall, allergy clearance, or promise about products missing from Open Food Facts.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 5 of 8 tracked Old Wisconsin Food Products records (62.5%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 3 cannot be screened, so the 92.0/100 mean describes the labelled subset rather than the whole brand.
Next check: use the product rows below to verify the labelled subset, then compare the current package for any unscored item.

Old Wisconsin Food Products relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 5 Old Wisconsin Food Products products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 2. It is used by 2,390 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.

|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 2 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrite | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
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 5 concern-sorted Old Wisconsin Food Products 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 ingredients and 95/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
