CertificationsSafe — Generally Clean
Whole30 Approved
Also known as: Whole30 CompatibleWhole30
Definition
A certification indicating a product complies with the Whole30 elimination diet program — free from added sugar (including artificial sweeteners), alcohol, grains, legumes (including soy and peanuts), dairy, carrageenan, MSG, and sulfites.
Why It Matters
The Whole30 Approved label is a strong signal for ingredient quality because its restrictions eliminate most of the common inflammatory and ultra-processed ingredients (seed oils, added sugars, emulsifiers, artificial preservatives). If a product meets Whole30 standards, it is generally made with clean, whole-food ingredients. However, it is a private certification, not government-regulated.
