Every product you scan earns a Food Intelligence Score, shown as a simple letter grade (A–F). It makes any label easy to read and easy to compare.
What each grade means
The letter grade puts the result on a familiar A–F scale, so you can judge a product in a second:
| Grade | What it means |
|---|---|
| A | Exceptional whole-food quality |
| B | Strong nutritional profile |
| C | Acceptable, but processed |
| D | Ultra-processed with moderate concerns |
| F | Highly processed, poor nutrition, or too little data |
Grades A–B show green, C shows yellow, D shows orange, and F shows red — the same colors you'll see on the score card and ingredient list.
What the score looks at
The score comes straight from what's on the label — nothing is guessed. In plain terms, it looks at:
- How nourishing it is — the balance of things like protein, fiber, sugar, and sodium.
- How clean the ingredients are — shorter, simpler lists score better than ones full of additives.
- How processed it is — close-to-whole foods score higher than heavily processed ones.
- How much we know — if the label doesn't give enough detail to judge fairly, the score reflects that.
Organic and non-GMO signals on the label help, too.
How to read it
- Scan or search a product.
- Read the letter grade first for the quick verdict.
- Expand the report for the "why" — ingredient notes, nutrition, processing, and GMO/organic flags.
- Compare with a similar product to find an easy upgrade.
Tip: two products that look alike can grade very differently. Let the grade point you to the better choice, then read the details to learn why.
Remember: the Food Intelligence Score is educational, not medical advice. Always follow the physical label and your healthcare provider for medical decisions.
