Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 834 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Orange sugar free, low calorie drink mix; Peach iced tea sugar free, low calorie drink mix; Peach iced tea sugar free, low calorie drink mix stix; 29.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 92.4/100. 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 Quality relies most on Yellow 5, an industry staple
Across the 738 Weis Quality products scored here, Yellow 5 appears in 45. It is used by 2,320 other brands in this database (6.6% 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 Quality products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow 5 | 45 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 44 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 38 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 37 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 30 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 26 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Polysorbate 80 | 23 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrite | 19 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
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 Quality 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 (16.5 ingredients and 45/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
