Just this Monday, the Environmental Working Group launched
the Food Scores Database. This is a new web service which ranks branded grocery
items on their nutrition and ingredients. The database includes over 80,000
items sold in grocery stores nationally. The details can provide users with
information about how processed the food is, information on oils, dyes,
preservatives, pesticides, organically raised, added sugars, gluten and much
more. The foods are then analyzed and scaled 1-10, with 1 being the most
nutritious food, and decreasing in nutritional value from there.
Check this out to learn more about the foods in your home,
or foods that you have thought about purchasing.
