Food Brands

167 brands with ingredient safety data sourced from Open Food Facts (CC0) and matched against FDA Substances Added to Food (SAFFA) regulatory status and EU Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. Each brand profile aggregates the safety scores of the additives recorded across its products. Scores run on a 1-to-5 scale (1 = banned or avoid, 5 = generally recognized as safe). Several US states now restrict specific additives — California's Food Safety Act (AB 418), signed in October 2023, was the first — so a brand's standing can shift as it reformulates; see our methodology for how scores are derived.
