- 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).

Medium risk of deforestation

Presence of one or more ingredients at risk of deforestation, with moderate risk given their quantity, origin and/or labels.

Forest Footprint

The Forest Footprint is a methodology developed by the association Envol Vert to estimate the risk of deforestation related to our consumption. → More information on the methodology

Forest Footprint grade: C

Presence of one or more ingredients at risk of deforestation, with moderate risk given their quantity, origin and/or labels.

Total Forest Footprint: 0.148 m² per kg of food

Cocoa

Primary ingredient grade: C

Primary ingredient: 0.148 m² per kg of food

Cocoa production, concentrated mainly in West Africa, contributes significantly to deforestation. For example, Côte d'Ivoire, the leading cocoa-producing country, has lost 90% of its forests since the 1960s.

Ingredient	% in product	Primary ingredient	Processing factor	Origin of the product and/or its ingredients	Forest Footprint for the origin	Label	Deforestation risk	Forest Footprint (m² per kg of food)
cocoa butter	18.04 %	cocoa	1.00	Unknown	0.296	-	100 %	0.053
cocoa	32.00 %	cocoa	1.00	Unknown	0.296	-	100 %	0.095

Other risky ingredients

These ingredients are not yet assessed for deforestation risk:

whole milk powder

Labels

The presence of certain labels can greatly help reduce the risk of deforestation, through the presence of environmental criteria and/or through better remuneration of producers.
