FAQ

Yes. The weekly newsletter, the Ingredient Index, and the label scanner (3 scans a day) are all free, forever. We make money one way: the optional Pro membership at $12 a month. No ads, no sponsors, no food-industry money.

Once a week — every Tuesday at 7am, one investigation. That's it. We don't do daily deals, flash sales, or "just checking in" emails. If we ever send something extra, it will be rare and worth opening.

Please do. Forward the newsletter, send the Ingredient Index link to your group chat, print the checklists when they're ready. The whole point is that this information spreads.

Tell us — seriously. Email hello@consumerrising.com with the mistake and your source. If you're right, we correct the piece publicly and note the correction. We'd rather be corrected than wrong.

No. Never. Selling "clean" products while reporting on dirty ones would be a conflict of interest, and our whole model depends on not having one. We don't sell anything except the Pro membership.

The opposite. Every investigation links its sources — regulator filings, peer-reviewed studies, public records. And when the science is uncertain or experts disagree, we say so instead of pretending. That's what honest science communication looks like.

Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom — one click, no guilt trip, no "are you sure" maze. You can also email hello@consumerrising.com and we'll remove you by hand.
