10 “Healthy” Products That Didn’t Pass the Checkit Test

Aug 6, 2025

Greenwashed. Overhyped. Sneaky. These ones had us fooled until we scanned them.

Just because a product looks healthy doesnt mean it actually is.
At Checkit, we decode the labels, ingredients, and marketing claims so you can stop guessing and start making smarter choices.

Here are 10 products that seemed clean but didnt pass the Checkit scan:

1. Organic Granola Bars

What the label says: Organic! Whole grain! Low fat!
What we found: Added sugars, inflammatory oils, and "natural flavors" with zero transparency.

2. Aluminum-Free Deodorants (With Mystery Fragrance)

They cut the aluminum but kept the artificial scent chemicals.
Fragrance = an unregulated loophole for hundreds of hidden ingredients.

3. Plant-Based Meats

Vegan clean. Some are packed with sodium, gums, and lab-made oils.
Checkit ranks them based on whats actually inside not the buzzwords.

4. Clean Baby Wipes

Parents deserve better. Many wipes labeled gentle still include parabens, PEGs, and preservatives linked to skin irritation.

5. Sunscreen Labeled Reef-Safe

Marketing term only no real regulation.
Checkit catches hidden UV filters that are harmful to reefs and your skin.

6. Free & Clear Laundry Detergent

No fragrance, but still full of skin allergens and petrochemicals.
Check the scan before you wash your sheets with it.

7. BPA-Free Plastic Bottles

BPA-free doesnt mean safe. Substitutes like BPS or BPF can be just as bad we flag them instantly.

8. Store-Bought Green Juice

Spoiler: Most are heat-pasteurized and loaded with sugar.
Checkit reveals whats really in your detox.

9. Multivitamins for Women

Marketed with pretty branding but often low-quality ingredients, dyes, and ineffective dosing.
Checkit ranks them by formulation, not marketing.

10. Vegan Protein Powders

Some contain heavy metals, artificial sweeteners, and gums that mess with your gut.
Scan it to see how it scores and what to buy instead.

✔️ Bottom line:

If the label sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Checkit lets you cut through the noise and make smarter, healthier choices for you and the planet.

Dont trust the label. Checkit.

Start scanning. Know whats inside.
