Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 45 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Pura Crema Centromericana; Quesos la ricura, chunks of hard cheese; Crema Salvadoreña; 25.9% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 98.1/100. 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 27 of 45 tracked Quesos La Ricura records (60%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 18 cannot be screened, so the 98.1/100 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.

Across the 27 Quesos La Ricura products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 6. 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 | Quesos La Ricura products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 6 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Polysorbate 80 | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Titanium Dioxide | 1 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
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.

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 27 concern-sorted Quesos La Ricura records shown below.

The dashed medians (7 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.
