Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers

Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 17 of 47 tracked Shady Brook Farms records (36.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 30 cannot be screened, so the 99.7/100 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.

Shady Brook Farms relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 17 Shady Brook Farms products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 1. 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 | Shady Brook Farms products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
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.
