Portfolio reading
Look for consistency across the range
The catalog shows a small but varied range led by Gourmet Decorated Shortbread Cookies; The decorated cookie company, gourmet decorated shortbread cookies; The decorated cookie company, decorated shortbread cookie. Across 25 tracked products, the mean is 6.0/100 and 100.0% 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.

The dashed medians (36 ingredients and 0/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
