We separate facts from assumptions.
FuelSelect is useful only if a filter means what users think it means. Our catalogue therefore distinguishes explicit claims and certifications from ordinary product data.
Current catalogue status
The public catalogue contains 250 Gold-verified product records, including separately listed flavours and pack sizes. Every published record has manufacturer evidence, the required nutrition and ingredient fields, a dated country-availability check and an exact product purchase link. Unfinished research is kept out of search, comparisons and box builders.
★ Gold is FuelSelect’s data-verification status. It is not an independent food certification, a medical endorsement or a guarantee that a product will suit your stomach or allergy needs. Availability checks are dated; live stock can change.
Each claim has its own evidence record. Product records distinguish the source, review date, country availability and purchase link. Read the evidence for the exact flavour and serving you are considering.
Evidence levels used after verification
Certified
Used when an independent certification applies to the relevant product or claim. Certification applies only to the product and scope covered by that certification.
Manufacturer claim
Used when the manufacturer explicitly describes the product with the relevant attribute, for example lactose-free, gluten-free, fructose-free or Low-FODMAP.
Source checked
Used for factual product information such as format, energy, product family or activity context taken from a brand or retailer source. It is not automatically a tolerance claim.
Unknown stays unknown
If a product might fit a rule but we do not have support for that claim, we leave the tag off. A zero-result search is better than a confident guess.
Diet tags
Vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, keto/low-carb and carnivore can mean different things to different people. FuelSelect prioritises explicit manufacturer positioning. For Carnivore, we currently reserve the tag for products with explicit carnivore positioning or unambiguous carnivore-specialist sourcing; we do not automatically label every meat or dairy product carnivore.
Sensitive stomach is not a guarantee
People respond differently to ingredients, dose, intensity, heat and timing. FuelSelect helps narrow products using documented attributes; it does not promise that a product will be symptom-free for a particular person.
Protein and recovery
Protein powders, bars and recovery products are included when they fit the same problem FuelSelect solves: users need to compare products by lactose, dairy, gluten, soy, diet and other food rules. These comparisons support food choices for training and recovery.
Commercial relationships
Commercial relationships are kept separate from product classification. Payment cannot create a dietary tag or buy Gold verification.
