    • 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).
