Karat Packaging makes disposable foodservice packaging with a good quality score (Q76) and strong momentum, but a large share of its products is sourced from Asian manufacturing that sits directly in the tariff path, and the value score is the second-most expensive in this batch (V37). That sourcing exposure is specific and current. Nothing adverse is known, so this is a flag.
