Do you pay attention to ingredient labels?

With all the drama in the Indie community I wonder if everyone pays attention to mainstream companies as well. I feel that Indie brands are under a magnifying glass 24/7 and mainstream aren't. Is it that they have money to do lab tests that you trust them more? Well I decided to actually look at mainstream ingredient labels to see if there was anything that looked suspicious. There is one brand in the mix that most consider Indie, but i do not. What do you think? Anything that seems like it doesn't belong? Here is the link to the FDA's table of approved color additives.
