Portfolio reading
Use the distribution, then open the outliers
With 115 tracked products, the useful signal is the shape of the portfolio rather than one headline score. The current concern-sorted list begins Ziyad, chicken and beef meat lunch; Large Fava Beans; Halal meat; 2.0% of records contain at least one flagged ingredient while the overall mean is 99.7/100. 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 49 of 115 tracked Ziyad records (42.6%) include an ingredient list. The remaining 66 cannot be screened, so the 99.7/100 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 Ziyad
Ziyad: 115 products tracked, 49 with an ingredient list, avg safety score 99.7/100, 2.0% of those scored products has at least one flagged ingredient.

Sodium Nitrite is the flagged ingredient Ziyad uses most
Across the 49 Ziyad products scored here, Sodium Nitrite appears in 1. Only 1,491 other brands here use it (4.2%), 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 | Ziyad products | Why it is flagged |
|---|---|---|
| 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 49 concern-sorted Ziyad 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 (4 ingredients and 100/100) divide this displayed sample only. A longer label is not automatically worse: open a specific product to inspect its flagged rows and source coverage.
