How does Scout score Kroger products?
Each product gets its own 1–100 score, judged against other products in the same category with a category-specific framework: the full ingredient list, plus the published processing level, the packaging and any credible lab results where they apply. Scout does not score brands, and no brand pays for a score or a position.
