How we help you
choose well.
Ingredients and nutrition describe the food. Production records explain how it was made. Your needs bring the comparison into focus.
01 · Match your exact food
Start with the barcode, package and market. Current manufacturer declarations take precedence over conflicting community records for the same product. Every statement keeps its source and status.
02 · Understand ingredients and nutrition
Read the ingredient list with nutrient quantities and their serving or weight basis. The nutrition model considers energy, saturated fat, free sugars, salt, protein, fiber and qualifying plant ingredients. Added sugars, total sugars and free sugars are distinct.
03 · Check how it was grown or raised
Explore available organic certification, grass-fed, grass-finished and processing statements. Check the certifier, scope and date. A production claim does not automatically add nutrition points.
04 · Compare for your priorities
Choose similar foods and a priority, such as less sodium or more fiber. A quantity comparison needs matching units, preparation and basis. Preference claims keep their own verification labels. There is no single food that is best for every person or every need.
Be clear about certainty.
Reviewed nutritional results and provisional nutrition estimates are labeled separately. Estimates show a range and assumptions where inputs are incomplete; they do not establish an individual health outcome. Ingredient names alone cannot establish nutrient quantities.
What goes into the score →Your priorities. Independent results.
Price, brand, membership and advertising do not improve a nutritional score. The same product and method use the same calculation. Personal preferences help you interpret results without changing that calculation.
