What information do we need to score foods for you?
A lot of data goes into our scoring model in order to accurately produce your personalised ZOE scores. We combine results from your tests with information about the food itself. This includes nutritional information (e.g. fibre content) and also other qualities (e.g. whether it is fermented or processed).
This means that if there is insufficient or missing information, we may not be able to score a food for you. When you request for a food to be scored, it is important that you submit clear pictures containing all of the required information (see below).
What foods can we score for you?
We can score any fresh or frozen food product, as long as the following information is available:
Product barcode
Product name
Brand name
Nutritional information
What foods can’t we score for you?
If the manufacturer has not provided a value for one of the nutrients we need (calories, carbohydrate, fat, protein, sugar, fibre or sodium/salt)
Medicinal supplements which do not contain significant macronutrients and/or that have specific health claims against them. Currently the only supplements we score are protein powders and fibre supplements
We're only able to score foods from the country you initially downloaded the app in. If you downloaded the app in the UK and then moved to the USA, we can only accept UK foods and vice versa.
