How scoring works
The clean score reads only the ingredient label. Up to 60 points come from the 9 additive groups we check: each group not on the label earns its share, and a group named only in a "may contain" note earns half. Up to 25 points come from an organic claim we have confirmed. Up to 15 points come from a confirmed grass-fed or pasture-raised claim. Points that do not apply to this kind of food are left out and the rest is scaled to 100.
This product: 8 of 9 groups not on the label. No confirmed organic claim. No confirmed grass-fed or pasture-raised claim.
