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.

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 50 concern-sorted The Moran Group Incorporated 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 (15 ingredients and 60/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
