Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Ziti pasta, italian style sausage, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses with ziti sauce; Turkey club sandwich wrap; Chimichuri beef With Roasted Potatoes And Vegetables. Across 10 tracked products, the mean is 70.0/100 and 100.0% carry a separately flagged ingredient. That is enough to compare formulations inside this captured range, but not enough to assume every current package matches. Start with the lowest-scoring product rows and confirm the ingredient panel when a specific additive matters.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 2 of 10 tracked Safeway Ready Meals records (20%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 8 cannot be screened, so the 70.0/100 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.

BHA is the flagged ingredient Safeway Ready Meals uses most
Across the 2 Safeway Ready Meals products scored here, BHA appears in 1. Only 560 other brands here use it (1.6%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue.
