Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 85 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Red Gold Chili Sauce 12oz; Tomato Sauce; Red Gold Ketchup Naturally Balanced 19.5oz; 0.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 100.0/100. 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 66 of 85 tracked Red Gold records (77.6%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 19 cannot be screened, so the 100.0/100 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.

No flagged ingredients across Red Gold
None of the 66 Red Gold products scored here list an ingredient flagged by the FDA, by CSPI's Chemical Cuisine ratings, or by a US state ingredient law. Among the 1,987 brands with 20 or more scored products, 74.6% carry at least one flag, so this puts Red Gold in the minority. It reflects the ingredient lists on file rather than a certification, and a product added later could change it.
Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Red Gold 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.
