Discover the new Nutri-Score!
The computation of the Nutri-Score is evolving to provide better recommendations based on the latest scientific evidence.
Main improvements:
- Better score for some fatty fish and oils rich in good fats
- Better score for whole products rich in fiber
- Worse score for products containing a lot of salt or sugar
- Worse score for red meat (compared to poultry)

What is the Nutri-Score?
The Nutri-Score is a logo on the overall nutritional quality of products.
The score from A to E is calculated based on nutrients and foods to favor (proteins, fiber, fruits, vegetables and legumes ...) and nutrients to limit (calories, saturated fat, sugars, salt). The score is calculated from the data of the nutrition facts table and the composition data (fruits, vegetables and legumes).
Negative points: 25/55
-
Energy
5/10 points (1821.25kJ)
Energy intakes above energy requirements are associated with increased risks of weight gain, overweight, obesity, and consequently risk of diet-related chronic diseases.
-
Sugar
9/15 points (32.5g)
A high consumption of sugar can cause weight gain and tooth decay. It also augments the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases.
-
Saturated fat
2/10 points (2.5g)
A high consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, can raise cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart diseases.
-
Salt
9/20 points (1.88g)
A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Positive points: 0/10
