Sodium Nitrite is the flagged ingredient Southern Home uses most
Across the 355 Southern Home products scored here, Sodium Nitrite appears in 34. Only 1,491 other brands here use it (4.2%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Southern Home products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|

| Yellow 5 | 31 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

| Red 40 | 22 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

| Carrageenan | 13 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Titanium Dioxide | 7 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Southern Home 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 (16.5 ingredients and 50/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
