How the clean score works
No setup needed, and strict: a full 100 needs every additive group clear and a verified organic claim (animal foods also need a verified grass-fed or pasture-raised claim; wild seafood and salt, which have no USDA organic standard, are scored without the organic points, and plant-based milks, cheeses and proteins without the feeding claim). Points: the nine additive groups (seed oils, artificial dyes, MSG, artificial sweeteners, carrageenan, artificial preservatives, hydrogenated oils, corn syrups, banned-abroad additives) share 60 points equally — not found earns a group’s full share, “may contain” earns half, listed earns 0; a verified organic claim is worth 25; a verified grass-fed or pasture-raised claim is worth 15 and counts only for animal foods. No claim, or an expired or unverified claim, earns nothing, so products without those claims cannot reach 100. Unverified or expired ingredient labels receive no score. Equal scores are equal. Ties are ordered by brand. Unknown and stale evidence never passes “Only show matches.” Producer claims and prices do not affect this score. This is not a nutrition, allergy, or safety rating.

Choosing ketchup, mayo & condiments: what to check before you buy
Compare the condiment you need within its own style: ketchup, mayonnaise, barbecue sauce or salsa. Oil type is useful for mayonnaise, while sweeteners and tomato or fruit content can distinguish sauces.
Check the serving amount, sodium and any egg, milk or other allergens in the exact recipe. A no-added-sugar or avocado-oil claim does not describe all the ingredients, so review the complete list.
What the labels on this shelf show
We track 129 products from 61 brands on the ketchup, mayo & condiments shelf. 99 have a complete, current ingredient label on record (77%), which is what lets us score them. The other 30 stay unscored until the maker publishes a full label; a missing label is “not yet”, never a pass.
Of the 99 scored labels, 55 (56%) list none of the nine additive groups we check. The group that appears most is seed oils, listed on 37 labels, followed by artificial preservatives on 13. 11 scored products carry a verified organic claim, which adds points. Scores here run from 47 to 100, and the typical label lists 10 ingredients.

- Compare ketchup, mayo, barbecue sauce or salsa within its own style.
- Oils and sweeteners
- Read the full oil blend and declared added sugars.

What to skip, and why
These scored products list at least one group on their current label. That is the clearest reason to pass if you are avoiding those ingredients.
- Melinda's Jalapeno Ranch lists seed oils, carrageenan and artificial preservatives (47/100)
- Sabra Classic Hummus lists seed oils and artificial preservatives (55/100)
- Tuv Taam Supreme Hummus lists seed oils and artificial preservatives (55/100)
The 30 products without a verified label are a separate “not yet”: we have no recorded ingredient list to check, so we cannot say they are clean or flagged.
Your preferences, explained
The clean score is strict and needs no setup: nine additive groups not found in a current ingredient statement, plus a verified organic claim (and a grass-fed or pasture-raised claim for animal foods), are needed for 100; a possible match earns half and a missing claim earns nothing. Missing or expired evidence stays unknown. It does not assess nutrition, allergies, contaminants, or safety.
