Nutri-Score C
Average nutritional quality
- 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)
  → Discover all the improvements of the new Nutri-Score
- 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).
  
  → Learn more about the Nutri-Score
Negative points: 11/55
- Energy
  5/10 points (1961kJ)
  
  Energy intakes above energy requirements are associated with increased risks of weight gain, overweight, obesity, and consequently risk of diet-related chronic diseases.
- Sugar
  4/15 points (17g)
  
  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
  1/10 points (2g)
  
  A high consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, can raise cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart diseases.
- Salt
  1/20 points (0.38g)
  
  A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Positive points: 2/10
- Fiber
  2/5 points (4.6g)
  
  Consuming foods rich in fiber (especially whole grain foods) reduces the risks of aerodigestive cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.
- Fruits, vegetables and legumes
  0/5 points (0%)
  
  Consuming foods rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes reduces the risks of aerodigestive cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.

- Salt in moderate quantity (0.38%)
  What you need to know
  
  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.

3 ultra-processing markers
- Limit ultra-processed foods
  Limiting ultra-processed foods reduces the risk of noncommunicable chronic diseases
  
  Several studies have found that a lower consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with a reduced risk of noncommunicable chronic diseases, such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes.
  Source: Ultra-processed foods increase noncommunicable chronic disease risk
Elements that indicate the product is in the 4 - Ultra processed food and drink products group:

Additive: E322 - Lecithins

Ingredient: Emulsifier

Ingredient: Flavouring
Food products are classified into 4 groups according to their degree of processing:

Unprocessed or minimally processed foods

Processed culinary ingredients

Processed foods

Ultra-processed foods

The determination of the group is based on the category of the product and on the ingredients it contains.

→ Learn more about the NOVA classification

Additives

E322 - Lecithins

Lecithins are natural compounds commonly used in the food industry as emulsifiers and stabilizers.

Extracted from sources like soybeans and eggs, lecithins consist of phospholipids that enhance the mixing of oil and water, ensuring smooth textures in various products like chocolates, dressings, and baked goods.

They do not present any known health risks.

E336 - Potassium tartrates

Potassium tartrate: Potassium tartrate, dipotassium tartrate or argol has formula K2C4H4O6. It is the potassium salt of tartaric acid. It is often confused with potassium bitartrate, also known as cream of tartar. As a food additive, it shares the E number E336 with potassium bitartrate.
Source: Wikipedia

E500 - Sodium carbonates

Sodium carbonates (E500) are compounds commonly used in food preparation as leavening agents, helping baked goods rise by releasing carbon dioxide when they interact with acids.

Often found in baking soda, they regulate the pH of food, preventing it from becoming too acidic or too alkaline. In the culinary world, sodium carbonates can also enhance the texture and structure of foods, such as noodles, by modifying the gluten network.

Generally recognized as safe, sodium carbonates are non-toxic when consumed in typical amounts found in food.

E503 - Ammonium carbonates

Ammonium carbonate: Ammonium carbonate is a salt with the chemical formula -NH4-2CO3. Since it readily degrades to gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide upon heating, it is used as a leavening agent and also as smelling salt. It is also known as baker's ammonia and was a predecessor to the more modern leavening agents baking soda and baking powder. It is a component of what was formerly known as sal volatile and salt of hartshorn.
