Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 2,407 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Jelly Rings; Spice Drops Candies; Shoprite, fruit flavored snacks, dinosaurs; 16.7% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 96.6/100. 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 1,386 of 2,407 tracked Shoprite records (57.6%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 1,021 cannot be screened, so the 96.6/100 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 Shoprite
Shoprite: 2,407 products tracked, 1,386 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 96.6/100, 16.7% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.

Shoprite relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 1,386 Shoprite products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 90. 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 | Shoprite products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 90 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Yellow 5 | 36 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 40 | 33 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Carrageenan | 31 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Polysorbate 80 | 23 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Yellow 6 | 19 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Aspartame | 18 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sucralose | 15 | 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 50 concern-sorted Shoprite 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 (12.5 ingredients and 52.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
