Nutri-Score B
Good nutritional quality
⚠ ️Warning: the amount of fruits, vegetables and nuts is not specified on the label, it was estimated from the list of ingredients: 19
- 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: 8/55
- Calories
  2/10 points (827kJ)
  
  Energy intakes above energy requirements are associated with increased risks of weight gain, overweight, obesity, and consequently risk of diet-related chronic diseases.
- Sugar
  0/15 points (1.5g)
  
  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 (1.4g)
  
  A high consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, can raise cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart diseases.
- Salt
  5/20 points (1.2g)
  
  A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Positive points: 7/17
- Proteins
  4/7 points (11g)
  
  Foods that are rich in proteins are usually rich in calcium or iron which are essential minerals with numerous health benefits.
- Fiber
  3/5 points (5.5g)
  
  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 (2.4%)
  
  Consuming foods rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes reduces the risks of aerodigestive cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.

Additives

E263 - Calcium acetate

Calcium acetate: Calcium acetate is a chemical compound which is a calcium salt of acetic acid. It has the formula Ca-C2H3O2-2. Its standard name is calcium acetate, while calcium ethanoate is the systematic name. An older name is acetate of lime. The anhydrous form is very hygroscopic; therefore the monohydrate -Ca-CH3COO-2•H2O- is the common form.

E401 - Sodium alginate

E404 - Calcium alginate

Calcium alginate: Calcium alginate is a water-insoluble, gelatinous, cream-coloured substance that can be created through the addition of aqueous calcium chloride to aqueous sodium alginate. Calcium alginate is also used for entrapment of enzymes and forming artificial seeds in plant tissue culture. "Alginate" is usually the salts of alginic acid, but it can also refer to derivatives of alginic acid and alginic acid itself; in some publications the term "algin" is used instead of alginate. Alginate is present in the cell walls of brown algae, as the calcium, magnesium and sodium salts of alginic acid.
Source: Wikipedia

E509 - Calcium chloride

Calcium chloride: Calcium chloride is an inorganic compound, a salt with the chemical formula CaCl2. It is a colorless crystalline solid at room temperature, highly soluble in water. Calcium chloride is commonly encountered as a hydrated solid with generic formula CaCl2-H2O-x, where x = 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6. These compounds are mainly used for de-icing and dust control. Because the anhydrous salt is hygroscopic, it is used as a desiccant.
