01 · A closer look

Color terms are checked by name.

The checker’s artificial-dye list includes specific numbered dyes and general artificial-color wording. Naturally colored ingredients are not automatically counted as synthetic dyes. Inspect the full recipe if you want to avoid a wider set of coloring ingredients.

02 · A closer look

The exact bag matters.

Packaging color and product photography do not establish the recipe. Match the flavor, market, and current label to the record. A source URL without a verified ingredient statement is not enough to produce a no-match result.

03 · A closer look

Build a repeatable shopping list.

Filter for current labels with no listed matches, read the source, and save the exact product. On your next visit, open the label again to check its review status and compare it with the package you are buying.
