Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Whole Wheat Spaghetti; Coconut Water And Pineapple Juice; Coconut Water. Across 22 tracked products, the mean is 100.0/100 and 0.0% 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 13 of 22 tracked So Natural records (59.1%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 9 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.

Label complexity does not determine the screening result

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 (3 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.
