What this is
This is the changelog for the American grocery store. Each page is one product as sold in the U.S., with a dated record of what its ingredient label said and when that changed.
What a status means
- Announced — a company said this SKU, or its brand, will change. Labels on shelves may not have changed.
- Rolling out — a new formula exists and the previous formula is still in stores. Both can be on shelves at once.
- Changed — the same product previously listed a tracked dye or additive, and a later manufacturer ingredient list or photographed label no longer lists it. A press release alone does not mark Changed. A product that never used the dye is not Changed.
- Still uses — a tracked additive is currently listed. A company-level commitment, if one exists, is noted on the brand.
How a product is marked Changed
- When is a product marked Changed?
- Changed requires a before-state — the product previously listed a tracked dye or additive, or a source announced that removal — and a dated after-state for the same product: a current manufacturer ingredient list or a photographed label that no longer lists it. A press release alone is not the after-state.
- What does rolling out mean?
- Rolling out means a new formula exists and the previous formula is still in stores. Both can be on shelves at once. That coexistence is not Changed.
- Is a product that never used synthetic dyes marked Changed?
- No. Always-clean formulas are not Changed. A current dye-free label is not a change unless the same product previously contained the tracked dye.
- How often is the catalog updated?
- Weekly. The footer shows the date of the last update. This is not a daily crawl of every U.S. label.
What "verified" means
A product is marked verified when an editor has seen either the manufacturer's current ingredient list or a photograph of the physical label, and the date of that evidence is recorded. Announcements and news reports can open a record; they do not verify one.
