Nutrient Wise: Supplement Scan

Clearer, more honest grades. Foods are now graded on the food scale. A packaged food shows its own nutrition grade instead of a supplement score, so everyday groceries are no longer judged on things like capsule dosage or third-party lot testing. When we don't have a rating, we say so. The grade card used to read "Not Yet Rated," which sounded like something was still loading. It now says plainly that we don't hold a score for that product, and why. Ultra-processed labels explain themselves. If a product is classed as ultra-processed, we name the ingredient responsible, so you can see that an additive like acacia gum is what triggered it. Supplement scanning is unchanged. Supplements from the NIH label database, and any label you photograph yourself, are graded exactly as before.
