Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Sun-bird, vietnamese beef pho soup mix; Sunbird mix ssnng chow mein; Fried Rice Seasoning Mix. Across 28 tracked products, the mean is 94.6/100 and 84.0% 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.

Sun-Bird relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 25 Sun-Bird products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 21. 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 | Sun-Bird products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 21 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| BHA | 1 | Restricted: California (warning required under Prop 65) |
| BHT | 1 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
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 25 concern-sorted Sun-Bird 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 ingredients and 95/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
