For Parents

Take the guesswork out of shopping

OUR REVOLUTIONARY 5-STAR SYSTEM EVALUATES

Additive Safety We identify concerning ingredients linked to behavioural issues, gut disruption, and sensitive reactions in children that many rating systems overlook
Processing Methods We assess how manufacturing techniques impact nutritional integrity, using an enhanced methodology that goes beyond conventional processing scales
Nutritional Truth We analyse the quality of nutrients, not just quantities—evaluating sugar sources, fibre content, fat quality, and whether the marketed health benefits match reality
Ingredient Integrity We reward products using genuine ingredients from nature rather than ultra-processed substitutes, with additional consideration for sustainable sourcing practices
