The Future of Everyday Nutrition Through a New Lens.
PantryRx synthesizes multi-step pantry data with AI-powered analysis, governed by expert registered dietitian oversight to deliver personalized nutrition suggestions.
Our multi-layered analytical framework processes dietary inputs through four distinct stages of verification.
From pantry shelf to action plan, every recommendation is verified through rigorous analysis before reaching you.
Data Ingestion
Snap a photo of your pantry shelves. Our computer vision model identifies every item, cross-references product nutrition data, and maps it against your household's unique nutrition profile.
AI Synthesis
Our AI engine processes thousands of data points per scan, surfacing nutrition patterns and suggesting high-impact swaps for your pantry.
RD Verification
The human network. Every recommendation is then reviewed by a registered dietitian to ensure adaptability, safety, and real-world relevance.
Validated by Global Science
Nutrition Research
Built on peer-reviewed nutrition science and USDA food databases.
Registered Dietitians
Licensed RDs review and validate AI-generated recommendations.
AI Intelligence
Computer vision and nutrition models identify patterns and high-impact swaps.
Privacy First
Secure data handling with transparent AI output labeling.
The Pantry Score: Measuring What's Available, Not Just What's Eaten
Most diet-quality tools measure what people eat. The Pantry Score measures something upstream: what's available to eat in the home. Your kitchen shapes your plate.
🍏 Strength
0 – 40 points
Rewards the presence of nutrient-dense staples: fresh produce, whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and high-fiber items.
🌈 Variety
0 – 30 points
Rewards diversity across produce colors, protein sources, whole-grain types, herbs & spices, and fermented foods — cuisine-neutral by design.
📈 Growth
0 – 30 points
Makes the score longitudinal: rewards positive swaps over 30 days, score velocity, recommendation acceptance, and reduction in flagged items.
⚠️ Penalty
up to −15 points
Flags sugar-sweetened beverages, ultra-processed snacks, high-sodium processed items, and refined-grain dominance in moderation.
Composite: Strength + Variety + Growth − Penalty, clamped to 0–100.
We adapted established diet-quality instruments to the previously unscored object of the household pantry.
The Pantry Score is not a new nutrition philosophy. It synthesizes decades of validated research — from the federal Healthy Eating Index to the Mediterranean Diet Score — into a single, actionable home food-environment metric.
Healthy Eating Index
The federal benchmark for diet quality. We borrow its adequacy/moderation skeleton and density-style normalization, adapted to score availability rather than intake.
Alternative HEI & Mediterranean Diet Score
Research-backed indices that inform our penalty layer (SSB, processed meat) and healthy-fats sub-score (olive oil, nuts, fatty fish).
Ultra-Processed & Adaptive Scoring
NOVA classification identifies ultra-processed foods, while Adaptive Component Scoring ensures cultural neutrality — no cuisine is penalized for cultural omissions.
Transparent Methodology, Open Results
We publish results — including null results — at every phase.
Phase 1 — In Progress
Algorithmic Alignment
~100 synthetic pantries scored by Pantry Score and HEI-2020, AHEI-2010, Mediterranean, and DASH indices. Target: r ≥ 0.70 correlation with HEI-2020.
Phase 2 — Planned
Household Validation
200–500 diverse U.S. households pairing pantry scans with ASA24 dietary recalls. Pre-registered hypothesis: intake prediction at r ≥ 0.60.
Phase 3 — Planned
Behavior-Change Cohort
12-week prospective study (n ≈ 100) testing whether Pantry Score changes predict HEI-2020 intake quality changes. Foundation for outcomes-based claims.
Working draft (v0.1, April 2026). The Pantry Score is fully specified but not yet externally validated. Stocks are not intake — the score measures what's available, not what's consumed. Get in touch to join our advisory review.
