## What is RealFood?

Is it real food? Point your camera at any grocery product and get an instant Real Food Score from 0 to 100 - based on the new Dietary Guidelines.

Not a calorie counter, not a judge. No fear, no shame, no diet-of-the-week. RealFood measures how real your food is and helps you find more of it.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan a barcode, snap a label, or capture multiple products from your pantry, shelf, or receipt
2. Get the score: from Real Food to Heavily Processed
3. Tap any ingredient for a simple explanation with insights
4. See healthier swaps from the same aisle

WHY PEOPLE SWITCH TO REALFOOD
• HONEST SCORING - A score you can actually trust. RealFood weighs the whole label and shows its work. You make the decisions.
• BUILT ON REAL GUIDELINES - Scoring follows the new 2025–2030 Dietary Guidelines, not a personal blocklist or a single-issue crusade.
• THE NEW FOOD PYRAMID - The pyramid changed, and most people never noticed. RealFood sorts every scan into its place.
• POSITIVE BY DESIGN - RealFood points you toward what to eat, not just what to avoid.
• SWAPS YOU'LL ACTUALLY LIKE - Not lectures. Real alternatives, matched to what you scanned.
• DIETARY INSIGHTS - Positives and negatives on every scan: from gut health and fiber to additives and emulsifiers.
• MADE FOR YOUR HOUSEHOLD - Tell RealFood who you shop for, and the guidance adapts — kid-friendly sugar tips, protein nudges.
• PRIVATE BY DEFAULT - Scoring runs on your device. No ads. No selling your data. No food-industry funding.
• REPORT AN ISSUE, WE FIX IT - Spot something off? Report it right on the scan. You'll get a note when your fix ships.

### 5/5 — My New Grocery Store Go-To

*2026-09-03*

Mom life is busy enough, so I love anything that makes healthier choices feel easier. RealFood lets me quickly scan the foods I’m buying and actually understand what’s in them without overthinking every ingredient label. I love the swap suggestions too because they help me make better choices for both me and my kids without feeling like everything has to be perfect. Super helpful and easy to use!
