## What is Partiqule?

Here's the full description:

Partiqule scores any product from 1 to 10 on ingredient safety and health impact. Food, personal care, baby products, home goods, clothing — if it has ingredients, Partiqule scores it.

Every score runs two independent research passes grounded in peer-reviewed science from NEJM, Nature Medicine, and The Lancet. No brand can pay to change a score. No advertising. No sponsored results.

WHAT YOU CAN SCAN
Type any product name and get an instant health score with a full breakdown of what's flagged and why. Or use the camera to photograph a product label, tag, or packaging and let Partiqule identify and score it automatically.

KIDS MODE
Toggle Kids Mode to see how any product scores specifically for children. Children's developing organ systems are more sensitive to synthetic dyes, hormone disruptors, and ultra-processed ingredients. M&Ms score 7 out of 10 for adults — they score 9 out of 10 for kids, because four FDA-flagged petroleum dyes have confirmed links to hyperactivity and neurodevelopment disruption in children. Kids Mode adjusts daily value thresholds for sugar, sodium, and saturated fat to reflect children's recommended limits.

NUTRITION BADGES
For food and beverage products, Partiqule shows sugar, sodium, and saturated fat as a percentage of daily recommended values — and automatically switches to children's daily values when Kids Mode is active. See at a glance whether a product blows through daily sugar limits in a single serving.

SUBSTANCE ANALYSIS
Every scan breaks down flagged substances by severity — High Concern, Medium Concern, and Low Concern — with the specific research behind each flag. Red 40 is flagged because the FDA is actively phasing it out. Titanium dioxide is flagged because the EU banned it from food in 2022. The science is cited, not summarized.

CLEAN ALTERNATIVES
Every scan suggests cleaner alternatives with their own scores, descriptions, and links to purchase. Switching from M&Ms to Hu Chocolate Bar eliminates four petroleum dyes and drops your score from a 7 to a 2.

VERIFIED CALIBRATION
Over 3,500 products have verified calibration entries — meaning their score is locked by research, not estimated by AI. Centrum Silver is locked to a minimum of 6 because it contains FD&C Blue 1, talc, and titanium dioxide. Larabar is capped at 3 because it is a NOVA 1 whole food with two ingredients. The AI handles new and unknown products. The registry handles everything it has already verified.

SCORE SCALE
1 to 2 — Safe. Clean ingredients, minimal processing, no flagged substances.
3 to 4 — Good. Conventional but no significant concerns.
5 to 6 — Caution. Real concerns worth knowing about.
7 to 8 — Switch. Known harmful substances or high processing load.
9 to 10 — Avoid. Confirmed harmful ingredients or banned substances.

WHAT PARTIQULE IS NOT
Partiqule is not influenced by brands or advertisers. It does not accept sponsored placements. It does not inflate scores for products with marketing claims like "natural," "clean," or "plant-based." A Beyond Burger scores a 5 because it is an ultra-processed NOVA 4 formulation regardless of its plant-based positioning.

### 5/5 — Quick, informative, easy way to make better product decisions at yours fingertips.

*2026-04-26*

I downloaded Partiqule for finding what’s most beneficial food wise at the grocery store considering nutrition and avoiding additives. What I didn’t expect (but am thrilled to learn more and more about) is that it can be utilized for so much more. I’m a bit obsessed with scanning my clothes and toothpaste, etc. Highly recommend!

A big refresh under the hood and on screen.
New typography and cleaner layouts across every scan result and list view.
Smarter alternatives. The top cleaner swap now surfaces right under every score, not just on high concern results.
Clothing scoring overhaul. Over 40 refinements to how we score activewear, kids pajamas, outdoor gear, and major everyday brands, with verified sourcing behind every change.
Barcode scans that miss our databases now hand you off gracefully. If we don't know a barcode yet, we'll say so and offer to read the label from a photo instead.
Honest best guesses. When we don't have the full ingredient list, we tell you clearly instead of pretending.
Dimension scores now always reconcile with the headline score. No more math that doesn't add up.
