Ingredients from product database

WARNING

This product contains ingredient(s) listed in Texas SB 25.
These ingredient(s) may not be recommended for human consumption.

What SB25 means

SB25 is HQ's warning check for certain ingredients.

If this alert shows up, it means HQ spotted one or more ingredients on that warning list.

That does not mean Detective has to panic. It means slow down, notice the clue, and compare this item with a simpler choice.

A great Detective question is: “Can I find one with fewer warning signs?”

How much a food has been changed from its natural form.

Clue

A helpful fact HQ found about the food.

Clean Food

A food with fewer red flags and simpler ingredients.

HQ Rule: Often fewer warnings and less processing.

Additives

Extra stuff added to change color, taste, texture, or shelf life.

HQ Rule: More additives can make a food less clean.

Simple Food

A food that keeps things basic and easy to understand.

Quick Questions

What Energy Spike Risk means

Energy Spike Risk is HQ's simple clue for foods that may raise energy fast and then crash fast.

A low spike risk usually means steadier energy. A high spike risk means Detective may want to compare it with a simpler food that has less sugar, more fiber, or less heavy processing.

It is not a medical diagnosis. It is a learning clue that helps Detective ask, “Will this hit fast, or stay steadier?”

What the score means

The score gives HQ a simple clue for comparing foods.

A higher score usually means the food looks simpler, steadier, and lower in warning signs. HQ looks at ingredients, processing, sugar level, fiber, sodium, protein, energy spike risk, and then gives vegan a small bonus.

🚫 Warning Ingredient

An ingredient HQ wants you to watch out for.

HQ Rule: Things like certain dyes, additives, or chemicals can trigger warnings.

🥇 Treasure

A super strong food find. HQ thinks this one is extra good.

HQ Rule: Usually around a 90+ score.

📊 Good Score

The higher the score, the better the food choice.

HQ Rule: 80+ is strong. 90+ is excellent.

🧪 Successful Scan Log

No successful scans saved yet.

HQ keeps one saved line per barcode and updates only the last scan time when the same barcode is scanned again.

Food Detectives HQ uses a public food database when a barcode is found.

It is an informational tool that helps Detective compare foods in a fun, kid-friendly way.

It is not a legal or regulatory determination.
