Nutri-Score C
Average nutritional quality
⚠ ️Warning: the amount of fruits, vegetables and nuts is not specified on the label, it was estimated from the list of ingredients: 16
- 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: 6/55
- Energy
  1/10 points (669kJ)
  
  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 (0g)
  
  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
  0/10 points (0.5g)
  
  A high consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, can raise cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart diseases.
- Salt
  5/20 points (1.1g)
  
  A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Positive points: 1/17
- Proteins
  1/7 points (4g)
  
  Foods that are rich in proteins are usually rich in calcium or iron which are essential minerals with numerous health benefits.
- Fiber
  0/5 points (0g)
  
  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 (16.8%)
  
  Consuming foods rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes reduces the risks of aerodigestive cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.

- Salt in moderate quantity (1.1%)
  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.

Good for agricultural biodiversity
Contains neglected or underutilized crops: Chickpea
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.
