Mean nutrient concentration is shown by the dark teal dot. Horizontal lines indicate the observed minimum-to-maximum range across samples. Line color reflects relative variability within the displayed foods. Foods are flagged when the observed minimum or maximum differs from the mean by more than 20%, an FDA-style threshold used here as a visual screening tool rather than a regulatory compliance determination.
