Why Grain exists

Do you know what's actually in your basket?

The front of a package is designed to sell. The answers live on the back — in small print, in Latin, behind numbers like E471. Grain reads all of it for you, ingredient by ingredient, and turns it into one clear score you can act on in the aisle.

Independent, by design

Nobody can buy a better score.

No brand money

Scores come from the label and the science — brands can't pay to change them, and we take nothing from them.

No ads

Grain is funded by subscriptions, not your attention. The app sells one thing: its own premium tier.

Your data stays yours

No resale, ever. The privacy policy names every service that touches your data — and you can delete everything, anytime.

Food

Two products, one honest look.

Quaker's oats have exactly one ingredient — they land at the top of the scale. Nutella is more than half sugar, with palm oil — it lands near the bottom, with a calm nudge: consider alternatives. No shaming, no fear. Just the label, decoded.

Cosmetics

Your bathroom shelf, read the same way.

Grain reads INCI lists in context — a rinse-off soap isn't judged like a leave-on cream, and food rules never leak onto your moisturiser. A certified-organic castile bar earns its top score honestly.

Supplements

Supplements, read the same honest way.

Optimum Nutrition's creatine is a single clean active, third-party tested — it earns an excellent score. Grain surfaces the dose and daily value, flags real third-party testing (NSF, USP, Informed Sport), and notes grouped blends plainly, so a supplement reads like a table, not a mystery.

And when you want more

Everything else Grain does for you.

Smart Swap

A better-scoring option in the same aisle, one tap away — never a random substitute.

Ask Grain

"Is this okay with my allergy?" Ask anything about the product you just scanned.

Explore

The cleanest picks in every category — yogurts, cereals, cleansers — tuned to your region.

Learn

A weekly article on ingredients and labels — published only when it can cite live authority sources.

Recall alerts

Active FDA recalls surface right on the product page — before it goes in the cart.

Personalized to you

Allergies, goals, ingredients you avoid — every score is read through your profile, not an average shopper's.

6 regions · 5 languages

FDA, EFSA, FSA, FSANZ, Health Canada, FSVO — Grain shows how your regulator sees each ingredient, in English, French, German, Spanish, or Italian. When regulators disagree, Grain shows the disagreement and lets you decide.

Honest about limits

Built by one person who reads labels too.

Grain is made by a solo independent developer — no growth team, no investors steering the scores. The methodology is public, the data sources are named, and where AI helps read a label, it says so. Grain is informational, not medical advice, and when it isn't sure about something, it tells you. If any of that stops being true, I've lost the plot.
