Superior Nut & Candy relies most on Blue 1, an industry staple
Across the 67 Superior Nut & Candy products scored here, Blue 1 appears in 10. 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 | Superior Nut & Candy products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Blue 1 | 10 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Superior Nut & Candy 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 (9.5 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.
