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 fiber powders: what to check before you buy

Compare fiber products by the named fiber source and the grams of dietary fiber in a serving. Acacia, inulin, oat fiber and blends are different ingredients, while a spoonful of product can include sweeteners or other additions.

Check mixing directions, serving weight and the intended use in a drink or recipe. Whole basil seeds and isolated fiber powders have different textures and preparation needs, so compare those formats separately.

What the labels on this shelf show

We track 23 products from 11 brands on the fiber powders shelf. 9 have a complete, current ingredient label on record (39%), which is what lets us score them. The other 14 stay unscored until the maker publishes a full label; a missing label is “not yet”, never a pass.

Of the 9 scored labels, 9 (100%) list none of the nine additive groups we check, so on additives alone the whole scored shelf is clear. 3 scored products carry a verified organic claim, which adds points. Scores here run from 71 to 100, and the typical label lists 1 ingredients.

What to skip, and why

No scored label lists any of the nine groups, so there is no additive to rule out.

The 14 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.
