Rootd scores your food from 0 to 100, tuned to you. Not a generic grade: your goals, your allergies, your dietary rules, your strictness. Scan a barcode and get an honest score with the receipts to back it up. No AI guessing. Rootd's scores come from deterministic, hand-written rules, so the same product on the same profile gets the same score every single time. Every point added or removed is itemized, with sources you can read. WHAT ROOTD CATCHES - Refined seed oils (canola, soybean, sunflower, and their label aliases) - Artificial dyes with EU warning labels - Hidden sugars: syrups, maltodextrin, juice concentrates, and dozens of other names for sugar - Ultra-processed markers and additive stacks - Ingredients in English, Spanish, and French, so imported labels do not slip through FACTS NEVER RELAX Candy cannot score like health food. Sugary sodas are judged as drinks and can never rank as nourishing. When a database entry is too thin to score honestly, Rootd says unrated instead of inventing a number. TUNED TO YOU - Allergies and religious dietary rules (halal, kosher, and more) are dealbreakers, scored zero, never buried - Diabetes and blood sugar mode judges total sugars, refined carbs, and fiber - Your personal avoid list: seed oils, sweeteners, dyes, MSG, and anything you add - Strictness settings that scale your preferences, never the facts LEARN AS YOU SCAN Short lessons and quizzes teach you to read labels yourself: sugar's many names, what natural flavors really means, how to spot ultra-processed food. Cited research, no fear mongering. AND MEET ROOTY Our carrot reacts to every scan. She cheers for the good stuff, gives a proud thumbs up, and yes, she gasps at the truly bad ones. Grocery shopping with receipts. Find before you buy. Terms: https://helpful-trifle-7849e8.netlify.app/terms.html · Privacy: https://helpful-trifle-7849e8.netlify.app/privacy.html
