Nutrition + processing

Nutri-Score is the grade reported in the source, not a score calculated or certified by us. NOVA describes processing. The Veganory indicator is a separate estimate; it does not determine whether a product is vegan.

Source values per 100 g or 100 ml, as supplied by the record. Confirm the basis on the package; these are not per-serving values.

How our indicator is calculated

When available, Nutri-Score A–E maps to 92, 74, 55, 34 or 16 points. With NOVA present, we combine 80% of those points with 20% of the processing indicator (100, 82, 52 or 16 for groups 1–4). Without NOVA we use the nutrition points alone. Without a usable Nutri-Score, we do not rate the product. This is a simplified comparison aid, not a validated health assessment.

Questions about this product

Is this answer valid for every Pams product?

No. This page covers Pams Tempura Coated Chicken Nuggets, barcode 9415077089833. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.

What still needs to be confirmed?

The source of unspecified processing aid needs clarification. Check the current package for a vegan certification or ask the manufacturer about these exact ingredients. A confidence label is not a certification.

Is the nutrition rating the same as the vegan result?

No. Vegan status concerns ingredient origin. Nutri-Score describes a nutrition profile, NOVA describes processing, and the Veganory score is our own combination of available indicators. A vegan result does not mean a food is nutritionally balanced.

What if my label is different?

Use the current package as your reference. Open a personal check or add a clear ingredient photo below. Community evidence is reviewed before shared information changes; this page is not proof of a manufacturer review.
