Description of Service
Food Realness Checker is a free tool that analyzes food product ingredients to provide a "realness score" indicating how processed a food product is. The Service uses artificial intelligence to extract and analyze ingredient information from product URLs, images, and barcodes.
Important Disclaimers
Not Medical or Nutritional Advice
The Service provides educational information only and is not intended as medical, nutritional, or dietary advice. Always consult qualified healthcare professionals before making dietary decisions, especially if you have health conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions.
Accuracy Limitations
While we strive for accuracy, the Service has inherent limitations:
- AI analysis may occasionally misidentify or misclassify ingredients
- Product formulations change; cached results may not reflect current ingredients
- Some ingredients may not be fully captured from product pages
- Scoring is based on general processing indicators, not comprehensive nutritional analysis
Acceptable Use

Limitation of Liability
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
