| Flagged ingredient | Orville Redenbacher's products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 4 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Orville Redenbacher's records shown below.
