Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 56 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Tofurky, bbq chick'n pocket sandwiches; POT PIE; Quiche Vegan Sausage & Veggie; 45.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 94.6/100. Open those outliers first, then compare neighboring formulations. The aggregate does not establish recall status, allergen suitability, or the composition of an item outside this snapshot.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 40 of 56 tracked Tofurky records (71.4%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 16 cannot be screened, so the 94.6/100 mean describes the labelled subset rather than the whole brand.
Next check: use the product rows below to verify the labelled subset, then compare the current package for any unscored item.
What the Data Says About Tofurky
Tofurky: 56 products tracked, 40 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 94.6/100, 45.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 71.4% of tracked records, this average is a description of the labelled subset, not a brand-wide tier. The coverage gap is the dominant limitation. Scoring methodology + dye-pledge context →

Titanium Dioxide is the flagged ingredient Tofurky uses most
Across the 40 Tofurky products scored here, Titanium Dioxide appears in 11. Only 1,379 other brands here use it (3.9%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Tofurky products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Titanium Dioxide | 11 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Carrageenan | 7 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Caramel Coloring | 3 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
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 40 concern-sorted Tofurky 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 (21 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.
