Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 216 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Nacho cheese flavored corn chips; Cheese flavored corn snacks; Corn sncks; 27.6% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 85.6/100. 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.
Catalog evidence
Ingredient-list coverage comes before the score
Only 116 of 216 tracked Wise records (53.7%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 100 cannot be screened, so the 85.6/100 mean describes the labelled subset rather than the whole brand.
Next check: use the product rows below to verify the labelled subset, then compare the current package for any unscored item.
What the Data Says About Wise

Wise relies most on Yellow 5, an industry staple
Across the 116 Wise products scored here, Yellow 5 appears in 25. 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 | Wise products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow 5 | 25 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Yellow 6 | 18 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Caramel Coloring | 3 | Restricted: California (Prop 65 warning for 4-MEI) |
| Carrageenan | 3 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Titanium Dioxide | 3 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Red 40 | 2 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Blue 1 | 1 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 3 | 1 | FDA ban effective 2027-01-15 · Restricted: California (AB 418; effective 2027-01-01); Federal (FDA; effective 2027-01-15) |
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 Wise 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 (24 ingredients and 80/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
