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.

| Carrageenan | 13 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted Supervalu 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 (14.5 ingredients and 90/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
