Assigning the Final HGS Grade
After calculating the total ingredient risk points,
each product is assigned an HGS grade:
A | (0-10 points): | Minimal Risk, safest ingredients with little to no health concerns. |
B | (11-20 points): | Safe, with minor considerations. |
C | (21-30 points): | Moderate Risk, containing some potentially harmful components. |
D | (31-40 points): | Significant Concerns, due to the presence of multiple high-risk ingredients. |
F | (41+ points): | Unsafe, requiring recalls and consumer alerts. |
Holding Companies Accountable
The Health Grade System was established to provide clear and honest information, allowing consumers to make safer choices. Companies must comply with strict certification standards, undergoing regular audits to maintain compliance.
For those that fail to meet safety standards:
- Non-compliant companies are publicly listed
- Hefty fines and legal actions are imposed for lack of transparency and safety violations.
