Scores work best when you are choosing between similar foods, like two burgers, two wraps, or two sides. They are relative nudges inside the KaiCheck dataset, not universal ratings.

Use the grade as a quick first pass, then check the nutrition details that matter to you.
A, B, C, and D are plain-language nudges designed to make similar menu choices easier to scan. A/B/C/D scores reflect relative comparisons within the KaiCheck dataset - they are not clinical health assessments.
Higher scores are not about perfection. They point to options that usually come out lighter or more balanced within the same kind of food.
Lower kJ, good nutrients.
Reasonable balance — fine regularly.
Higher kJ, fat, or sugar — enjoy occasionally.
Very high kJ or nutrients to watch.

The grade helps you scan quickly. Higher grades usually point to options that land lighter or more balanced for energy, saturated fat, sodium, sugar, and protein.
A better score does not automatically make something the best choice for every goal. Open the food details or compare view when protein, portion size, or another trade-off matters more.
The score looks at the overall nutrition picture to make side-by-side menu comparisons quicker.
When you save a health focus in Settings › Macros & My Health, KaiCheck checks each food against condition-specific thresholds before assigning the final grade.
A single caution-level reading — for example moderately high sodium when High blood pressure is active — drops the grade by one step. Two or more caution results drop it by two steps.
A danger-level reading forces a D grade regardless of the base score — for example a single serve with 1000 mg or more of sodium when High blood pressure is active.
Scores use the standard five-factor calculation with no condition-specific adjustments. Clearing your Macros & My Health profile reverts all grades to standard.

Health focus alerts and score adjustments are informational nudges. They are not clinical assessments — always follow your health professional's advice.
Important note
Daily intake figures are general population guides, not clinical dietary targets. A/B/C/D scores reflect relative comparisons within the KaiCheck dataset - they are not clinical health assessments. Not a substitute for professional medical or dietary advice.
