Nutrition & processing, separately explained
- Source Nutri-Score
- Not available
- Source NOVA group
- 3 of 4
- Veganory indicator
- Not rated
- Indicator inputs
- 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.
Nutrition quantities have not been supplied for this record. Add a nutrition-panel photo below to help complete them.
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 Waitrose product?
No. This page covers Waitrose Roasted Vegetable Couscous, barcode 5000169138229. Other flavours, package versions or recipes sold in different countries may differ. Match the barcode and ingredient list on your package.
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.
