Aspartame is the flagged ingredient Wakefern Food Corporation uses most
Across the 54 Wakefern Food Corporation products scored here, Aspartame appears in 3. Only 469 other brands here use it (1.3%), 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 | Wakefern Food Corporation products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Aspartame | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Carrageenan | 2 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrite | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Sodium Nitrate | 1 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Yellow 5 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
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 50 concern-sorted Wakefern Food Corporation 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 (11 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.
