Prairie Farms Dairy Inc. relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 39 Prairie Farms Dairy Inc. products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 14. 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.
| Flagged ingredient | Prairie Farms Dairy Inc. products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 14 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Caramel Coloring | 2 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Polysorbate 80 | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
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 39 concern-sorted Prairie Farms Dairy Inc. 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.
