Every food
gets a grade.
Rubric grades what you're about to eat on how processed it is and how nutritious it is, and shows you the protein it actually delivers. Scan it in the store. Or point it at your pantry and cook what's already there.
No ads. No brand deals. No affiliate links.
Three criteria. Published weights.
You can see exactly how a score is built, and why a food lost points. Nothing about the grade is a black box — and the grade is the same for everyone who scans it.
How far it has travelled from food. Scored on the NOVA scale, 1 through 4 — whole ingredient at one end, industrial formulation at the other. Weighted highest because it predicts health outcomes even after sugar, fat and sodium are accounted for.
Sugar, saturated fat, sodium and salt weighed against fibre and protein. Scored A through E on Nutri-Score — the nutrient detail that processing alone doesn't capture.
Fibre measured against carbohydrate, which is what separates a refined grain from a whole one. Meat and oil have no carbohydrate, so this isn't counted against them. Fibre added back into a formulation counts for less than fibre that was there all along.
In the aisle, and at the counter.
Grade it before it goes in the cart.
Scan a barcode and get the grade, the score, and the reason in plain language — “NOVA 4, ultra-processed; low protein for the calories.” No account, no sign-up, no limit on scans.
