AisleScore Makes Ingredient Lists Show Their Work

Editorial interest 77/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A food-scoring tool evaluates products line by line against a published standard, rather than hiding the result behind an opaque number.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-17 issue.

Field notes

The scoring model is presented as a readable receipt: each deduction corresponds to a rule in The AisleScore Standard v1.2, rather than disappearing into an unexplained total. The homepage says the system has live pages for more than 362,000 US products and links to examples scoring 100 and 0. Its data comes from Open Food Facts and is identified as available under the Open Database License, while product search is listed as coming soon.
