Wells Enterprises Inc. relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 46 Wells Enterprises Inc. products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 28. It is used by 2,390 other brands in this database (6.8% 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 | Wells Enterprises Inc. products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 28 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 14 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |

Visible product sample
Label complexity does not determine the screening result
Each point is one of the 46 concern-sorted Wells Enterprises Inc. 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 (18 ingredients and 87.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
