How can Rude Health improve its Ethical Rating?

The Good Shopping Guide used a variety of criteria to determine if a brand is considered ethical and suitable for Ethical Accreditation. Rude Health’s scores in each of its assessed areas are calculated based on our research criteria. In order to meet the requirements for Ethical Accreditation, Rude Health has some issues to solve, including its bottom rating for our Organic criteria; we encourage all brands to seek to provide Organic options to consumers and to get those products independently verified by a certified body, such as the Soil Association.
