About Uplift

Uplift helps shoppers judge products by their own values (Buy Canadian, Regina businesses, fair trade, animal welfare, low-waste packaging and environmental impact) without needing to be supply-chain experts.

How the score works

• Each value is rated good, caution, unknown or not applicable, and the reason is always shown.
• Good counts 100 and caution 30. Unknown and not applicable are left out, never guessed.
• Your number 1 value counts most (weights 1.0, 0.8, 0.6 and so on).

Data

Product information comes from Open Food Facts, a free database built by volunteers. It can be incomplete or out of date. Spot a mistake? Fix it on Open Food Facts and everyone benefits.

Contains data from Open Food Facts, available under the Open Database License (ODbL).

Built for the Regina Open Door Society Tech Skills Showcase 2026.
