Western Family Foods Inc. relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 82 Western Family Foods Inc. products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 12. 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 | Western Family Foods Inc. products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 12 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Polysorbate 80 | 11 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Caramel Coloring | 7 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Aspartame | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 2 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrate | 2 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Red 40 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Sodium Nitrite | 1 | 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 Western Family Foods Inc. records shown below.

The dashed medians (13.5 ingredients and 95/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
