Why Trust Check4Eat's Scores

Four independent scores, one combined Overall verdict — here's what each one actually tells you before you buy.

🥗 Nutrition Score (A–E)

A quick, honest read on how nutritionally balanced a product is — not just "low calorie" or "low sugar" in isolation, but the full picture. An A means genuinely good; an E means treat it as an occasional indulgence, not a staple.

🧪 Additive Safety (A–E)

Cuts through the wall of unpronounceable E-numbers on the label and tells you plainly whether what's in a product is worth worrying about or perfectly fine — evidence-informed, not fear-mongering, and not a simple "more additives = worse" count either.

⚙️ Processing Level (A–E)

Answers the question nutrition labels alone can't: how far removed is this from real food? An A means minimally processed, an E means heavily/ultra-processed — useful even when the nutrition numbers themselves look fine on paper.

🌍 Eco-Impact (A–E)

A quick sense of a product's environmental footprint, so sustainability can factor into a buying decision alongside health — without having to research packaging and sourcing yourself.

Overall Score

One 0–100 score and plain-language verdict combining all four scores above, weighted by how much each one actually matters for a shopper's health and everyday decisions — so you can judge a product at a glance without reading four separate numbers every time.

Every score is calculated the same way for every product, every time — no brand, retailer, or manufacturer can pay for a better result, and nothing here is influenced by advertising. That's the whole method: consistent, evidence-informed, and always on the shopper's side.
