Why are some food products not rated?

1) There are various types of products that Yuka does not rate because they are very specific products for which no rating method exists:

  • Alcohol
  • Sugar
  • Infant formula
  • Protein supplements
  • Pet food
  • Nutritional supplements

2) In addition, there are some food products that Yuka cannot rate for various reasons:

  • Products in another language: those products have lists of ingredients that are in a language other than English, Spanish, German, Italian or French.
  • Products sold by weight (cut-to-size products, deli foods, etc.): which have a specific bar code for weight that's not unique and does not allow the product to be identified.
  • Products with no listed nutritional value: nutritional values (calories, sugar, salt, protein, fiber, saturated fat) are essential for calculating scores.
