Bobby Approved tells you what one trusted creator would buy. BannedPantry tells you what regulators have actually banned or restricted — with the citation on every flag. Here is the honest side-by-side.
Bobby Parrish helped teach a generation of shoppers to flip the package over and read the label — real respect for that. The difference is what powers the verdict. Bobby Approved is one creator's standard, applied by his team. BannedPantry's verdicts are computed from regulator restriction status, so when we flag an ingredient you can click through to the law that triggered it.
Curation answers "would Bobby buy this?" Citation answers "has any major regulator acted on this?" Both are useful questions — here is how the tools compare.
Scan it free. If a regulator somewhere acted on an ingredient inside, you'll see exactly which one — and read the source yourself.
