About

Chop the Slop is a food-label tool and evidence-led investigation desk. Scan a barcode, photograph an ingredient label or paste ingredients for a plain-English breakdown — or follow our Slop Radar when a food claim starts travelling faster than the evidence.

The personality can be loud. The evidence shouldn't be.

Food conversations online can be dramatic. We can have fun with that without turning every unfamiliar ingredient into a danger claim. The reasons underneath a label verdict matter more than the verdict itself.

What we are trying to do

We separate what a company says, what regulators record, what research can support and what remains unknown. We do not assume a viral claim is false, and we do not treat regulatory acceptance as proof that every customer wants an ingredient.

Not medical advice. This tool is general food-label information and is not intended to diagnose, treat or manage a medical condition or allergy.
