Scan a product

Three ways in: barcode, a photo of the label, or just tell Ethiq what it is.

Hold the barcode in the frame. Ethiq detects it automatically, so there is no shutter to press.

How this grade was calculated
    Environment (Green-Score) — shown separately on purpose ?
    Intensive farming often has lower emissions per kilo than high-welfare farming. Averaging the two scores would hide that trade-off, so Ethiq never does.
    How the score is built

    1. Certified signals first. If the product carries a recognised welfare label (Beter Leven, Haltungsform, Étiquette Bien-Être Animal, RSPCA Assured, Label Rouge, GAP, Certified Humane, Animal Welfare Approved, organic schemes), the score comes from a published crosswalk of those tiers.

    2. EU egg codes. For eggs, the mandatory EU farming-method code applies: 0 organic (90), 1 free-range (65), 2 barn (35), 3 caged (10).

    3. Species priors last. With no label, the score falls back to the typical production system for that species and region, clearly flagged as inferred, not certified.

    4. No animal ingredients = 100 by construction.

    Pain-hour figures come from the peer-reviewed Welfare Footprint Framework. Product data comes from Open Food Facts (ODbL). Scores are estimates for education, not certification.
