Health scores

Grocery health scores you can actually understand

YumCart rates every product with an easy 0–100 health score and shows exactly why — so you can tell whether a grocery item is a strong everyday choice before you buy.

The method

What goes into a score

A simple 0–100 scale

Higher is better. Color coding from red to green makes it easy to compare products side by side while you shop.

Why products lose points

Scores drop for things like being higher in added sugar or sodium, or carrying long, heavily processed ingredient lists — and the reasons are always shown.

Highlights and lowlights

Every data sheet separates what a product does well from where it falls short, in plain English.

Added sugar and sodium

YumCart flags products that are higher in added sugar or sodium so you can weigh them against alternatives in the same category.

Fiber and protein

Products that are higher in fiber or protein earn credit — helpful when you're building a more filling grocery bag.

Ingredient quality

Simpler, less processed ingredient lists score better than long, additive-heavy ones, and each flagged ingredient is explained.

Transparent by design

Clear reasoning, never judgment

Full breakdown behind every score
Better everyday options suggested
Recipes get scores and macros too

Questions

Frequently asked questions

It's a simple 0–100 rating that summarizes a product's nutritional quality, so you can compare groceries at a glance instead of decoding nutrition labels one by one.
Scores combine nutritional quality — added sugar, sodium, saturated fat, calories, protein, and fiber — with ingredient quality and how processed the product is. The full breakdown is always visible on the product's data sheet.
No. A low score simply means a product is higher in things like added sugar or sodium, or lower in things like fiber. YumCart is about better everyday options, not cutting out foods you enjoy.
Yes. Ingredient quality is part of every score, and the data sheet highlights the specific ingredients that raised or lowered the rating.
No. YumCart provides general grocery and nutrition guidance, not medical advice. Always check product labels for allergens and consult a qualified professional for medical needs.
