Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 148 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Sweetened corn & oat cereal crispy crunch berry treats, sweetened corn & oat cereal; Price rite, soda, orange; Fruity Wows; 27.7% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 93.4/100. Open those outliers first, then compare neighboring formulations. The aggregate does not establish recall status, allergen suitability, or the composition of an item outside this snapshot.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 65 of 148 tracked Price Rite records (43.9%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 83 cannot be screened, so the 93.4/100 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.

Price Rite relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 65 Price Rite products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 7. It is used by 3,551 other brands in this database (10.1% 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 | Price Rite products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 7 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Red 40 | 4 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 4 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Carrageenan | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrite | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| TBHQ | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Yellow 5 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Aspartame | 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 50 concern-sorted Price Rite 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 (8 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.
