Science-Based Food Rankings

About FoodRanking

Our Mission: To empower consumers with clear, independent, and science-backed food rankings. We believe that everyone deserves to know what's in their food, so they can make informed decisions for their health.

How We Score

Our comprehensive Nutrition Score (0-100) is the result of a meticulous, data-driven process. We analyze thousands of products, scoring them using a sophisticated weighted algorithm based on the following key factors:

Nutri-Score Analysis

We assess each product's nutritional quality using the scientifically validated Nutri-Score system. This metric penalizes high levels of energy, saturated fats, sugars, and sodium, while rewarding the presence of fruits, vegetables, fiber, and protein content.

Ingredients & Additives

Every ingredient undergoes rigorous analysis for its health impact. We significantly penalize artificial additives, preservatives, colorants, and highly processed ingredients. Products with cleaner, whole-food ingredients rank higher.

NOVA Processing Level

The NOVA classification system categorizes foods by their degree of processing (Groups 1-4). Lower NOVA groups indicate minimal processing and significantly improve the nutrition score, prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods over ultra-processed alternatives.

Organic Certification

Products with certified organic credentials receive bonus points in our scoring system. This reflects sustainable agricultural practices, reduced pesticide exposure, and chemical-free farming methods that benefit both personal and environmental health.

100% Independent

We are completely independent and receive no funding from the food industry. Our algorithms and scoring methodology are designed purely to serve your health interests, ensuring our rankings remain objective, transparent, and free from commercial influence.
