Search 1.98 million products with our proprietary two-score system. Understand ingredients, compare alternatives, and make healthier choices.
Why Two Scores Tell the Full Story
Most food apps focus only on nutrition. We analyze both processing AND nutrition because they tell different stories about your food.
Processing Score
1-32+ scale (lower is better)
Measures how much your food has been altered from its natural state. Based on ingredients like preservatives, artificial additives, and industrial processing methods.
Nutrition Score
0-10 scale (higher is better)
Evaluates nutritional quality based on beneficial nutrients (protein, fiber) versus concerning ones (added sugars, sodium, saturated fat).
The Bottom Line
Processing and nutrition don't always correlate. Some ultra-processed foods score well nutritionally, while some "healthy" foods hide extensive processing. Our two-score system gives you the complete picture.

What We Discovered
After analyzing 1.98 million US grocery products, we uncovered some surprising truths about our food supply.
Are Ultra-Processed
Nearly one-third of grocery products score above 8.0 on our Processing Score, indicating extensive industrial processing.
Are Minimally Processed
Only 15.7% of products score 2.5 or below, representing foods close to their natural state.
In the Middle
Over half are Processed (27.9%) or Highly Processed (25.3%), falling between minimal and ultra-processing.
Key Insights
Processing ≠ Nutrition
Processing and nutrition scores don't always correlate. Some ultra-processed foods are fortified with vitamins, while some "natural" foods lack essential nutrients.
Hidden Processing
Many foods marketed as "healthy" contain extensive processing. Even some organic products score high on our Processing Score due to multiple additives and preservatives.
Better Choices Exist
For almost every ultra-processed product, there are minimally processed alternatives available from different brands or categories.
Category Variations
Processing levels vary dramatically within categories. Even within "healthy" categories like yogurt or granola, scores range from minimally processed to ultra-processed.
Find Healthier Alternatives
Search for any product to see healthier, less processed alternatives. Compare ingredients, processing scores, and nutrition scores to make informed choices for you and your family.
