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. Organic and sourcing claims do not apply to this kind of food, so the score is out of those 60 points, scaled to 100.
This product: 8 of 9 groups not on the label.
