Product Quality Tracker
Your guide to goodness.
user ratingIf you’re like most people, you wonder about the quality of the products you purchase: do they contain unhealthy chemicals, exactly what are they made of, how far have they traveled to get to your store shelf and so on. The answers are waiting for you at GoodGuide.com, which delivers the most up-to-date health, environmental and social information on 75,000 products from baby food to sunscreen, household chemicals to toys. Specialty, organic and vegan foods are a primary focus. “People want to know which foods are safe, healthy and of high quality,” says Dara O'Rourke, founder and CEO of GoodGuide.com. The findings might surprise you—for example, 88 percent of juices exceed a recommended sugar threshold, while 75 percent of fruit snacks contain added colors.
The site offers product reviews, and experts will advise you on the best items to buy from a health or green perspective—and those to avoid. If you’re in the store and want information immediately, you can download goodguide.com’s text messaging or iPhone applications. –Denise Shoukas
