Guiding Stars just celebrated our 4th anniversary by releasing the new search engine Food Finder into public beta. The search engine allows shoppers to search for any of 50,000 foods in the Guiding Stars database and view the zero, one, two or three star nutrition rating for that food.

You will also find Guiding Stars on shelf unit price tags for foods earning stars, and even on private label brand packaging.
