Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Blueberry Lemonade, Blueberry; Caesar Salad With Chicken; Strawberry Lemonade, Strawberry. Across 30 tracked products, the mean is 91.1/100 and 22.2% 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.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 18 of 30 tracked Pacific Coast Selections records (60%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 12 cannot be screened, so the 91.1/100 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.

Pacific Coast Selections relies most on Red 40, an industry staple
Across the 18 Pacific Coast Selections 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.
| Flagged ingredient | Pacific Coast Selections products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Red 40 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Azodicarbonamide | 1 | Restricted: EU (banned); Australia (banned) |
| Blue 1 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |

| TBHQ | 1 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Yellow 6 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 18 concern-sorted Pacific Coast Selections 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 (9 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.
