Foodwatch Review Criteria

clipboard Catherine's Reviews have four main areas – nutrition, convenience, taste and sustainability. Nutrition is our big thing so it gets a score out of 20, then Taste, Convenience and Sustainability each get a score out of 10. This gives an overall score out of 50 to earn a Foodwatch Apple rating.

Foodwatch Apples range from 0 Apples (a terrible score) up to 10 Apples (brilliant).
