OUR APPROACH
Information,
not influence.
Label and Table is an independent, experimental comparison tool. It shows a score and the reasons behind it, and says plainly when it is estimating.
WHAT THE NUMBER MEANS
One hundred points, three parts.
Nutrition contributes up to 60 points. It follows the 2023 Nutri-Score rules for the food’s category, converted to points on our own provisional scale.
Products with D or E nutrition are capped at 49 overall. Compare similar foods; portion size and your individual needs matter.
Reviewed ingredients contribute up to 30 points. The complete assessment uses reviewed rules for phosphates, lecithins, xanthan, calcium carbonate, citric acid, gelatin and maltodextrin, each with its source and review date.
Unreviewed families remain explicitly provisional. An incomplete review uses a midpoint, which neither proves harm nor grants a safety clearance.
Verified organic certification adds 10 points.
Missing organic evidence earns no bonus; that is not a claim that the food is non-organic.
The conversion and the weights are our design choices.
READING A RESULT
A word, a number, and an asterisk.
No asterisk
A number without an asterisk has complete inputs under the current checks. It is still based on community records that can be out of date.
An asterisk
A number with an asterisk is a provisional working estimate. Its expandable explanation lists the assumptions and sources.
A possible span
The span shows how far unresolved inputs could move the total. It is not a statistical confidence interval.
WHAT IT IS NOT
Honest about the limits.
Not Yuka’s score
We share the 60 / 30 / 10 weights Yuka publishes. Sharing those weights does not make our estimates equivalent.
Not a validated health measurement
The estimates are not clinically validated. A score of 100 does not mean a perfect diet or a guarantee of safety.
Not an allergy assessment
Nothing here establishes allergy safety. Check the package for the current ingredients and allergen statement.
Not personal dietary advice
The score does not account for your personal dietary needs.
DATA AND PRIVACY
Where it comes from, and what stays with you.
The data
Product data: Open Food Facts · ODbL / DbCL
One live database: Open Food Facts, plus a small set of sourced additions included with Label and Table. No Firebase or live store inventories. Store filters use incomplete community tags. Products and scores can change as source records and our scoring policy improve.
Your privacy
No tester accounts or saved scan/search history. Camera images stay on your device. Searches and barcodes go to Open Food Facts, and product photos load from its image server; the host and data provider may process standard request logs. When Open Food Facts doesn’t have a product or its nutrition, the barcode is also checked with USDA FoodData Central through our server. If neither can show or score a product, we keep that barcode, the dates it was missed and a count, so the gap can be filled. Nothing about who scanned it is kept. Feedback and screenshots you choose to send are stored privately in Cloudflare D1; see the feedback form for limits.
