About the GoodGuide Rating:
The GoodGuide Rating was developed using methodologies that are grounded in the sciences of informatics and health risk assessment. Products are scored from a low of 0 to a high of 10. The higher the rating, the better the product from a health perspective.

About GoodGuide:
GoodGuide’s mission is to provide consumers with the information they need to make better shopping decisions. We believe that as more consumers choose products that contain ingredients with fewer health concerns, retailers and manufacturers face compelling incentives to make and sell better products.

To fulfill our mission, GoodGuide combines manufacturer-provided information about product ingredients with authoritative information on the health effects of chemicals. We rate products so that consumers can have instant access to credible information about products that would be very difficult for anyone to develop on their own. We are a team of scientific experts in product and chemical information and have been engaged in this project for ten years.

GoodGuide has grown to become the web’s most comprehensive and credible resource for information about the impact of consumer products on human health. Hundreds of thousands consumers use GoodGuide’s website and mobile apps every month to help decode product labels, research ingredients, and make more informed decisions about the products they purchase.

Great app! Loads of information (which seems to be reliable). Infos about products, their ingredients and their effects both on health, environment and social sphere. I recommend!
The name says it all. Very informative. We all should be more conscious of what we put on and into our bodies. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Definitely a great and fast way to learn more about the products we CHOOSE to buy. Knowledge is key to making the best decisions for our planet, our people and ourselves.
Incredible app! Has changed my consumption a lot. Empowered me to shop with my values
Also heard about this on CBC and gave it a try. Many items I scanned arent included yet but some are. Searching through the categories is helpful. Im sure the list will continue to expand. Get it.

Some bad moments

Why release it in the Canadian store if it doesnt recognize Canadian products? If its still in the process of generating a Canadian library of barcodes it should state so.
As of now this app is useless in Canada. Please make this app useful for Canadian products!
It rates products one to ten except gives you no basis for its rating. If your going to tell me that something is only a five compared to a 10 tell me why
Please fix! Lots of bugs I downloaded today! First, i scanned a product and when i tried to scan another product the scanner stopped working and screen went black and froze and then i got a pop up asking if i would like to rate the app. But its frozen!!! So I re-installed and same problem!!! I give 1/2 star as a rating because it basically doesnt work. Deleting!!!!.Too bad i was excited about this. :(
I tried scanning barcodes around my house but it either didnt recognize them or it displayed a different product from the one I scanned (I scanned a Cosmopolitan magazine and got results for Lean Cuisine frozen entrees). Only one product popped up for me, and after scanning dozens, I wasnt very impressed.
I scanned all my personal products, and returned no reviews. I tried to look them up by brand, nothing. Needs a far wider database.

Usually GoodGuide iOS app used & searched for
