Walk into any supermarket and you'll find packaging covered in claims. "Natural." "High in fiber." "Source of protein." "No added sugar." These phrases are regulated — sort of — and often technically true, while still being misleading. The only way to really know what you're eating is to read the label.
But labels are hard.
Nourisk started as a small itch: we wanted a one-number summary for a packaged food, with the option to dig deeper when we care. That's it. Scan the barcode, see a score between 0 and 100, and if something surprises you, tap through to the full nutrition table, the additive list, and the allergen flags.
The rules we set for ourselves
- No black boxes. Every score is computed from a public formula. You can read the full methodology on our methodology page.
- No sponsored rankings. We don't rank products for money. Ever.
- No shame. A "low" score on a product you love doesn't mean you're bad. It means the product has a lot of sugar, or salt, or additives. What you do with that info is up to you.
What the blog is for
Short, grounded reads on:
- How to actually read a nutrition label in under 30 seconds.
- What common buzzwords mean (spoiler: usually less than you'd think).
- Category-specific tips — sodas, cereals, plant milks, bread, protein bars — so you can shop that aisle with confidence.
We are not dieticians, and Nourisk is not medical advice. We're just people who got tired of decoding packaging and decided to build a tool we wished existed. Thanks for being here early.
