Safety: recall history
Recall and safety-notice history, time-decayed. This dimension is shown alongside the score and never feeds the headline number.

Evidence: what the brand claims, and what supports it
The claims made on the pack and product page, checked against the declared label. We record claims as stated; "consistent" means our stored label data supports the claim, "contradicted" means it conflicts with it. Functional claims are recorded but never scored.
Claims on file; none we can check against the label
| Claim | Type | Check | Substantiation |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOS/MOS prebiotics to support healthy digestion (on page) | Functional | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Wheat gluten-free (on page) | Free-from | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
| Optimum Protein levels for an active life (on page) | High/low level | not checkable | Manufacturer assertion |
