A vetted marketplace can't use one list for everything — bread and a sofa don't fail for the same reasons. So every category gets two lists: banned ingredients & materials (what's in it) and banned processes (how it's made), plus flagged items that cost points, disclosure rules, and the certifications we recognize. Every product carries one None of the Bad score (0–100, 75+ to list) — tap any score to see exactly why, judged by its own category's rulebook.
Our bar is deliberately high, and every rule is public. Any banned ingredient means a product isn't listed, whatever else it earns.
We are building our rulebooks in public. Food and beverage is final; the other categories are drafts and will change before products list. They are our standard for what we choose to carry, not a medical judgement about any product. Tell us what we got wrong: info@noneofthebad.com

Complete rulebook: banned ingredients + minimally-processed rules + the score.
Every category gets its own rulebook with the same six parts: what is banned, which ways of making it are banned, what costs points, what must be disclosed, which certifications earn credit, and the notes that define the category. These eight are written and open for comment. Each one says where it is still being decided. Tell us what we got wrong: info@noneofthebad.com
Think we missed something?
These standards are built in the open. If an ingredient or process belongs on a list — or shouldn't be on one — tell us why.
