Ghee
Not scored because the source record has no usable ingredient list in this Open Food Facts record. FDA SAFFA and CSPI ratings require reliably parsed ingredient names.
The verdict
Ghee by Carrington Farms carries barcode 0742392000878 in our Open Food Facts snapshot, but the source record has no usable ingredient list, so this product has no safety screening score. FDA SAFFA and CSPI ratings apply to reliably parsed ingredient names and cannot assess this source record. Read the physical package and the manufacturer's own information, and check official recall notices, before making any allergy, dietary, or safety decision.

What the Data Says About Ghee
Ghee by Carrington Farms has no safety score because the source record has no usable ingredient list. There is no reliable ingredient screen to compute from and no shelf-label classification is assigned.
None of the 1 ingredient parsed from this label appears in FDA Substances Added to Food (SAFFA) or CSPI Chemical Cuisine. That is an absence of evidence rather than a clean bill: the registries catalogue additives, so whole-food and unlisted components fall outside them and cannot be scored either way. Product data originates from the OpenFoodFacts collaborative catalog; safety annotations come from federal regulators and the Center for Science in the Public Interest. This score is a transparent derived index we compute from that public data, not an official FDA rating or endorsement; see the Methodology page for the exact weighting.
No usable food ingredient list is available for this product in the Open Food Facts collaborative database: the source record has no usable ingredient list. No scan against FDA SAFFA or CSPI Chemical Cuisine data could be performed and no score is assigned. Missing or unparseable evidence is not a clean-label signal -- check the product's physical packaging or the manufacturer's site for its actual ingredient list.
On the NOVA processing scale, Ghee is classified as Group 2 (Processed ingredients). NOVA measures industrial processing intensity rather than ingredient-level safety, so it complements the SAFFA and CSPI ratings: a product can be clean on additive flags but heavily processed, or lightly processed but carry individually flagged ingredients. Combining both lenses gives a fuller picture than either alone.
How the three scores on this page were derived
Within the four-tier shelf-label framework this site publishes, the composite for this product falls in the highest band. That band is defined by a threshold on the derived score alone: it is where labels land once components carrying caution-or-worse registry ratings contribute little or nothing to the deduction. The band is a summary of what the screened registries return for the components that were parsed, so it inherits their coverage gaps — a component absent from both registries neither raises nor lowers the figure. The threshold and the weighting behind it are set out on the methodology page.
Nutri-Score assigned its lowest band to this label. The algorithm reserves that grade for nutrition panels where the values it penalises sit well above the components it credits. The two systems on this page measure genuinely different things: a product can hold this grade while carrying no additive flagged by the registries screened below, and a product graded well can carry several. Neither reading substitutes for the other, and the per-component table is where the additive picture is set out.
The declared list parsed into a small number of components. On a short list the registry screen covers close to everything the packaging declares, and any single matched component accounts for a correspondingly large share of the composite. Short lists also leave less room for parsing error, since there are fewer separators and qualifiers for the extraction to resolve.

No safety score for this product. The screening score is derived from a reliably parsed food ingredient list, and the source record has no usable ingredient list, so no score is shown. That is a source-data limitation, not a finding about the product.
How It Compares to Its Category
Among the 23,001 products we've scored in the Dairies category, the average safety score is 97.8/100. Ghee is not part of that comparison because the source record has no usable ingredient list; it cannot be placed above or below the category average.
Ingredient-list length vs other Dairies products

Ingredient-list length is a descriptive property of the label, not a safety rating. A longer list is not automatically worse and a shorter one is not automatically better; the count is shown so the label can be placed against a comparable population. The comparison here runs against the 21,438 Dairies products we publish with a parsed label, not against the whole catalogue, because list length varies far more between categories than within one.
