Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 94 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Christopher’s secret stuff; Thavage Pre-workout; Bum Itholate Protein Maple Waffle; 73.9% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 83.7/100. 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 23 of 94 tracked Raw records (24.5%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 71 cannot be screened, so the 83.7/100 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.
What the Data Says About Raw
Raw: 94 products tracked, 23 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 83.7/100, 73.9% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 24.5% of tracked records, this average is a description of the labelled subset, not a brand-wide tier. The coverage gap is the dominant limitation. Scoring methodology + dye-pledge context →

Sucralose is the flagged ingredient Raw uses most
Across the 23 Raw products scored here, Sucralose appears in 16. Only 1,692 other brands here use it (4.8%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Raw products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 16 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 9 | 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 23 concern-sorted Raw 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 (12 ingredients and 85/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
