Overview

Nutri-Score

Nutri-Score is a front-of-pack nutrition labeling system developed by Santé Publique France that rates food products on a scale from A (best nutritional quality) to E (worst nutritional quality). The system calculates scores based on beneficial nutrients per 100g such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, fiber, and protein, as well as nutrients to limit such as energy, sugars, saturated fats, and sodium. First introduced in France in 2017, it has now been officially adopted by eight countries including Belgium, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, and Switzerland, serving as an important tool to help consumers make healthier food choices.
