White Rose relies most on Carrageenan, an industry staple
Across the 117 White Rose products scored here, Carrageenan appears in 11. 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 | White Rose products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Carrageenan | 11 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Sodium Nitrite | 8 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Polysorbate 80 | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Red 40 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Aspartame | 1 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| BHA | 1 | Restricted: California (warning required under Prop 65) |
| Blue 1 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 1 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
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 White Rose 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 (7 ingredients and 97.5/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
