Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 1,615 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Iced tea with lemon sugar free, low calorie drink mix; Blueberry Crisp Mascarpone And Graham Premium Ice Cream Filled With Blueberry Swirl, Blueberry Crisp; Creamy Parfait Desserts; 27.8% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 93.6/100. 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.

Weis relies most on Caramel Coloring, an industry staple
Across the 1,296 Weis products scored here, Caramel Coloring appears in 91. 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.
| Flagged ingredient | Weis products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Caramel Coloring | 91 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 90 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 61 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 5 | 46 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 45 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Polysorbate 80 | 35 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Titanium Dioxide | 28 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Yellow 6 | 27 | 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 Weis 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 (21.5 ingredients and 40/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
