About this app

Want to know if your food is sustainable, wholesome, and honest? HowGood helps you find foods you can feel good about with simple ratings backed by extensive research. Search or scan product barcodes to quickly access the HowGood database of over 200,000 food product ratings.

Rating System
Each product in the database undergoes rigorous research by the HowGood team and is given a rating on its impact across three benchmarks: Growing Guidelines, Processing Practices, and Company Conduct.

➜ meets 0 of 3 benchmarks
➜ Good meets 1 of 3 benchmarks
➜ Great meets 2 of 3 benchmarks
➜ Best meets 3 of 3 benchmarks

The HowGood ratings will show you which items are environmentally friendly, minimally processed, and ethically produced, helping you choose the products that meet your standards and align with your values.
