The Ingri Standard

Ingredients With Integrity

You deserve to know exactly what you're eating. Unfortunately, modern food packaging is designed to sell, not necessarily to inform. Ingri is built on a different premise: the label should tell you everything, and everything on it should be something you recognize.

One Rule, No Exceptions.

Instead of listing everything we ban, it's simpler to tell you the only thing we allow: real ingredients. If you recognize the ingredient and can tie it back to a natural source, then it belongs on Ingri. No hidden chemicals or ultra-processed fillers designed to cut costs. Here's a more comprehensive list of our banned ingredients.

The Ultra-Processed Problem

Making healthy choices isn't easy.

Regardless of how many "natural" and "organic" items shoppers select, ultra-processed foods still make up the majority of most grocery carts. Not because people aren't paying attention, but because UPFs are nearly impossible to avoid, even when you're actively trying.

So, what exactly are ultra-processed foods (UPFs)?

Ultra-processed foods are industrial formulations that have at least one ingredient that wouldn't be found in a traditional home kitchen (like synthetic emulsifiers, chemical preservatives, and flavor compounds). They're created through a series of industrial processing techniques and are engineered to be cheap, hyperpalatable, and to have extensive shelf lives.

These aren't products that are only found in obvious "junk food." UPFs are in your local natural food store, the organic section, and even the trendy products boasting health claims.

UPFs are more common than you may think.

UPFs account for over 70% of the food supply in the US.
Children get over 60% of their calories from UPFs.
The US is ranked first globally for UPF consumption.

UPF consumption is linked to serious health concerns.

These health concerns include (but are not limited to) chronic inflammation, hormonal disruption, gut microbiome interference, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and overall mortality.
