Ingredient guide
Every ingredient clearlabel flags
121 ingredient guides covering 558 label names across 85 flag families, generated from the same taxonomy the scanner uses.
The Clear Score reads full ingredient lists and flags additives, synthetic compounds, and ultra-processing markers. Each guide covers one flag: what it is, the label names it collapses, its severity, and where regulators ban or restrict it.
