worker cooperative retailer
Daily Bread Co-operative
Industry Food
A worker cooperative retailer selling wholefoods and household products, with democratic governance, ethical sourcing, and limited scale. Daily Bread Co-operative scores well because ownership is comparatively aligned and governance has stronger accountability than peers, though toxic or materially harmful products still limit the evaluation.
Why this matters: Small co-ops need the same source threshold as large firms.

Penalties
| Penalty | Applied | Why this penalty |
|---|---|---|
Toxic Products
?
Current sale of products whose ordinary use, exposure, ingredients,
residues, packaging, or formulation creates toxic, addictive, or
consumer-safety risk. Food products receive at least light scrutiny for
artificial colors, artificial flavors, petro-derived additives,
pesticide residues, contaminants, endocrine-disrupting packaging, and
ultra-processed formulation. Ordinary adult nightlife or alcohol service
is not penalized by itself without evidence of predatory marketing,
youth targeting, addiction-extractive design, or unusual product-safety
misconduct. Range: -5 to 0.
