Analyse Food Items to Discover Their Impact on our Environment and Health.
Thousands of food products and ingredients with 14 environmental metrics and their respective nutrition facts are available to help you make better diet choices.
Search for food items in various categories and get their environmental score. For example, try ‘cheddar’, or ‘almond milk’, or ‘French fries’, or ‘cayenne pepper’, or thousands of other food items!
Use the ‘Highs & Lows‘ functionality to discover food items that best fit your needs. For example, you could find all food items that have emitted a low amount of CO2, are high in protein, and belong to the Meat & Fish category.
Select products and compare their environmental scoring and nutritional values. Food items metrics are plotted into charts to help you relatively visualize their environmental impact.
Climate change or the emission of CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the most known factor to estimate the environmental impact on our planet.
However, there is much more to it than that!
What impacts our environment also impacts our health. For that, more factors need to be taken into account.
Foodalyse provides you an environmental scoring calculated with 14 metrics.
The drinks, food products and ingredients in Foodalyse are ‘general’ products. This means that it doesn’t represent specific brands, manufacturers, suppliers or retailers. Unfortunately, this kind of data doesn’t exist today (yet!).
The environmental impact might change from one specific branded product to another because the impact of each step of the life cycle might vary.
Many of the products in Foodalyse are prepared plates and multi-ingredient. You can compare the environmental score for each ingredient in a food item and their respective contribution to the environmental impact.
For example, try to search for ‘Bolognese-style pasta’, and observe how each ingredient is impacting the environmental.
