How ClearEaty scores food
ClearEaty gives every food a single 1–10 score built from two honest principles: the quality of what's actually on the ingredient list, and how heavily the food is processed. Recognizable whole-food ingredients lift the score; additives, refined oils, and heavily processed inputs pull it down. The score is our own opinion to help you compare products at a glance — it is not a medical judgment, and dietary badges above reflect label claims only.
Score reflects ClearEaty's ingredient- and processing-based opinion. Always read the actual label for allergens and medical needs.
