    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).

Threatened species

• 

  Contains palm oil

  Drives deforestation and threatens species such as the orangutan

  ---

  Tropical forests in Asia, Africa and Latin America are destroyed to create and expand oil palm tree plantations. The deforestation contributes to climate change, and it endangers species such as the orangutan, the pigmy elephant and the Sumatran rhino.
