Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Nut & Chocolate Trail Mix; Heartland Harvest, Nut & Chocolate Trail Mix; Indulgent Mix. Across 22 tracked products, the mean is 90.2/100 and 13.6% 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.

Star Snacks Co. Inc. relies most on Blue 1, an industry staple
Across the 22 Star Snacks Co. Inc. products scored here, Blue 1 appears in 2. It is used by 1,963 other brands in this database (5.6% 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 | Star Snacks Co. Inc. products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Blue 1 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 2 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 22 concern-sorted Star Snacks Co. Inc. 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 (11 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.
