Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 104 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Spearmint Rain; Sugar Free Juicy Fruit; Hubba Bubba Mini Gum; 89.1% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 42.0/100. 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 46 of 104 tracked Wrigley's records (44.2%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 58 cannot be screened, so the 42.0/100 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 Wrigley's
Wrigley's: 104 products tracked, 46 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 42.0/100, 89.1% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.
Because ingredient lists cover only 44.2% of tracked records, this average is a description of the labelled subset, not a brand-wide tier. The coverage gap is the dominant limitation. Scoring methodology + dye-pledge context →

BHT is the flagged ingredient Wrigley's uses most
Across the 46 Wrigley's products scored here, BHT appears in 40. Only 742 other brands here use it (2.1%), which makes it a more particular choice than the flags that dominate the catalogue. 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 | Wrigley's products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| BHT | 40 | Preservative with a recorded concern |
| Acesulfame Potassium | 37 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Aspartame | 37 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Blue 1 | 17 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Titanium Dioxide | 7 | Restricted: EU (banned); California (under review) |
| Sucralose | 6 | Concern recorded by a review body; no ban cited |
| Yellow 5 | 5 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
| Red 40 | 4 | FDA voluntary phase-out target 2027-12-31 (a request, not a ban) · Restricted: California (schools) |
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 46 concern-sorted Wrigley's 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 (13 ingredients and 40/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
