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 psyllium husk: what to check before you buy
Compare whole husk and ground psyllium within the form your recipe or product instructions require. Plain husk, flavored drink mixes and fiber snacks are different products, so check the full list before comparing amounts.
Follow the package’s liquid and mixing directions, including any medication or swallowing precautions. A serving of powder is not necessarily the same weight as a serving of whole husk; compare the labeled fiber amount and directions.
What the labels on this shelf show
We track 16 products from 10 brands on the psyllium husk shelf. 10 have a complete, current ingredient label on record (63%), which is what lets us score them. The other 6 stay unscored until the maker publishes a full label; a missing label is “not yet”, never a pass.
Of the 10 scored labels, 9 (90%) list none of the nine additive groups we check. The group that appears most is artificial dyes, listed on 1 label, followed by artificial sweeteners on 1. 2 scored products carry a verified organic claim, which adds points. Scores here run from 55 to 100, and the typical label lists 1 ingredients.
What to compare
- Whole husk or powder
- Use the form your recipe or product directions require.
- Liquid and directions
- Follow mixing directions and any medication or swallowing precautions on the package.
- Full recipe
- Distinguish plain husk from flavored mixes and fiber snacks.
- Fiber and amount
- Compare dietary fiber per serving alongside the serving weight.

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.
- Metamucil 4-in-1 Fiber Psyllium Fiber Supplement, Berry lists artificial dyes and artificial sweeteners (55/100)
The 6 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.
