- 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).

Good for agricultural biodiversity
Contains neglected or underutilized crops: lentils, lentils
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.
