Free food lookup
Search common foods and drinks for practical context on how they generally fit a Mediterranean-style eating pattern used in current MASLD guidance. The lookup avoids simplistic “good” and “bad” labels.
2 · Food context
These labels describe how a choice generally fits the overall eating pattern — not whether it is medically “safe” for every person.
How to read the results
Whole fruit and fruit juice are not nutritionally identical. A baked potato and chips are not the same choice. Plain yoghurt and a heavily sweetened dessert yoghurt can sit differently in the overall pattern.
That is why this tool gives preparation and label-reading context instead of assigning a permanent score to a food.
Current European MASLD guidance emphasises improving overall diet quality, with a Mediterranean-style pattern, while limiting ultra-processed foods rich in sugars and saturated fat and avoiding sugar-sweetened drinks.
One meal or ingredient does not define the whole diet.
