Cart Balance Score

Your Basket Has a Story. CBS Helps You See It.

The Cart Balance Score (CBS) gives you a simple snapshot of the overall nutritional balance of your DailyBasket cart — before you check out.

Instead of looking at products one at a time, CBS helps you step back and see the bigger picture.

  • Whole-basket view
  • Updates as you shop
  • You stay in control

The idea

What Is Cart Balance Score?

CBS stands for Cart Balance Score. It is a DailyBasket feature designed to help you understand the overall nutritional profile of the products in your basket.

Every DailyBasket cart receives a CBS, giving you an easy reference point as you build and adjust your basket.

Add. Compare. Adjust. See the difference.

Why it exists

Why We Created CBS

Choosing one product can be easy. Choosing an entire basket is different.

Your cart may contain everyday staples, snacks, drinks, fresh foods and convenience products — all with different nutritional characteristics. CBS helps bring these different factors together into one simple basket-level view.

  • Is this product good?
  • How does my overall basket look?

CBS encourages you to move from the first question to the second.

One product versus a whole basket On the left, a single product card. On the right, a card holding six different products from staples to snacks, with one combined basket score beneath it. One product Tells you something → Your whole basket Tells you more ONE CBS

Under the hood

How CBS Works

CBS considers information from the products in your cart to provide an overall basket-level score.

The assessment can take into account relevant nutritional characteristics of the products you select, together with the broader information used within the DailyBasket Nutrition Matrix. DailyBasket also considers NOVA food classification as an additional perspective on food processing.

  1. Product information
  2. Nutrition Matrix
  3. Cart Balance Score

The more your basket changes, the more your CBS can change.

Read it properly

What Does My CBS Mean?

CBS is intended as a guide, not a judgement.

A higher or lower score does not automatically mean that a basket is “good” or “bad.” Different people have different nutritional needs, preferences and circumstances.

The purpose of CBS is to provide another piece of information that can help you understand your overall basket.

Three perspectives

CBS + Nutrition Matrix + NOVA

DailyBasket brings these three perspectives together.

Nutrition Matrix

Helps you understand key nutritional characteristics of individual products.

NOVA

Provides context around the degree and purpose of food processing.

Cart Balance Score

Provides a simplified view of the overall balance of your basket.

One product tells you something. Your basket tells you more.

Try it

Make Small Changes. See the Difference.

CBS can help you experiment with your basket.

  • Swap one product.
  • Add another.
  • Remove something.
  • Compare the result.

The goal isn’t to chase a perfect score. It’s to help you make more informed choices that fit your own priorities.

A basket score before and after a swap Two cards side by side. The left card shows an original basket with an illustrative score of 64; the right card shows the same basket after two products were swapped, with an illustrative score of 71. Before Original basket 64 → After Two products swapped 71
Scores shown are examples, not targets. Your own priorities decide what “better” means.

No lectures

Built for Real Life

We know real grocery baskets aren’t perfect. There will be treats. There will be convenience foods. There will be busy days.

CBS isn’t designed to tell you that you can’t have something. It’s simply there to help you understand the overall picture.

The Cart Balance Score is an informational tool developed by DailyBasket. It is not medical or dietary advice and is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any medical condition.

CBS is calculated using product information available to DailyBasket and may change when product information, formulations or other relevant data are updated.

For specific dietary requirements or medical conditions, consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
