NONG Score
A transparent 0–100 certification scale that tells you exactly how NONG-safe any product is — ingredients, manufacturing and cross-contamination, all scored.
What Each Score Means
Fully verified No Onion No Garlic. Safe for Jains, Vaishnavs and strict FODMAP diets. Zero cross-contamination risk and fully transparent ingredient sourcing.
Predominantly NONG safe with minor concerns. May use shared facilities or have trace risk. Suitable for most NONG dieters with due caution.
Contains onion, garlic or allium derivatives, or has significant cross-contamination risk. Not recommended for strict NONG diets.
Score Calculation
Every ingredient is checked against our database. Each onion/garlic derivative found reduces the score. Fully clean ingredient lists score maximum points.
We evaluate the facility — whether onion or garlic products are processed on the same line, and whether the brand has NONG-specific production runs.
Labelling transparency matters. Brands that clearly declare "No Onion No Garlic" and list any allergen cross-contamination risks score higher.
