What the score is made of

Four categories, weighted. Seed oils count three times as much as plastics or ultra-processing, so a poor seed-oil score pulls the overall number down hardest.

  • Seed oil3× weight0
  • Additives2× weight50
  • Plastics0.5× weight
  • NOVA0.5× weight50

Plastics has no ratings yet and count as 0 toward the overall score — an unproven category isn’t a free pass.

What reviewers said

Every composed salad, bowl, wrap and sandwich Farmer's Fridge sells contains canola oil in the food itself and not just the dressing, so there is no seed-oil-free meal on the menu. Additives are genuinely light though, with no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners, HFCS, MSG or carrageenan anywhere in the range.

Rated 2026-08-28 from Farmer's Fridge's own product pages: all 51 menu SKUs server-render a full nested FDA-style ingredient statement (robots.txt -> sitemap-index.xml -> sitemap-0.xml, filtered to 51 /menu/products/ URLs). Seed oils: 39 of 51 SKUs. Scored "all" not "some" because canola oil is in every composed salad, bowl, wrap and sandwich, and it sits in the salad body rather than only the separately packaged dressing, so no entree avoids it. Soybean 9, safflower 18, sunflower 6, cottonseed 3, corn 2, sesame 1. The 12 clean SKUs are plain proteins, cheese cups and third-party drinks and desserts. No fryer exists. Additives: 10 of 51, and the range is clean of TBHQ, BHA, BHT, HFCS, MSG, artificial colours, artificial flavours, artificial sweeteners and carrageenan. The load is the bought-in tortilla (calcium propionate, sorbic acid, mono- and diglycerides) on 6 wraps plus the burrito, nitrite deli meat in 4, one sodium benzoate hot sauce and caramel color in one balsamic.
