- Insufficient data
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.

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.
