    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).

    • A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
    • Many people who have high blood pressure do not know it, as there are often no symptoms.
    • Most people consume too much salt (on average 9 to 12 grams per day), around twice the recommended maximum level of intake.

    
    Recommendation: Limit the consumption of salt and salted food

    • Reduce the quantity of salt used when cooking, and don't salt again at the table.
    • Limit the consumption of salty snacks and choose products with lower salt content.

  Good for agricultural biodiversity

  Contains neglected or underutilized crops: Chickpea

  ---

  Did you know?

  Since 1900, 75% of plant diversity has been lost as farmers around the world have abandoned local varieties for high-yielding varieties adapted to mass industrial processing. As a result, 60 % of human energy intake in the world comes from only 3 species: wheat, rice and corn.

  Why it matters

  The lack of variety of crops makes our food supply more vulnerable to pests, diseases and climate change.

  What you can do

  Consuming diverse cereals, legumes, vegetables and fruits contributes to:

  • preserving neglected and underutilized species
  • rural development and support of local farmers and companies
  • preserving of diversified landscapes
  • food security
  • and your health!

  
  

  Open Food Facts participates in the European project DIVINFOOD (funded from European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme). DIVINFOOD aims to develop food chains that value under-utilised agrobiodiversity in order to act against the decline of biodiversity and to meet the growing expectations of consumers for healthy, local products that contribute to sustainable food systems.

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.
