Nutrition

Nutri-Score A
Very good nutritional quality
⚠ ️Warning: the amount of fruits, vegetables and nuts is not specified on the label, it was estimated from the list of ingredients: 0
- 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).

Negative points: 7/55
- Energy
  4/10 points (1560kJ)
  
  Energy intakes above energy requirements are associated with increased risks of weight gain, overweight, obesity, and consequently risk of diet-related chronic diseases.
- Sugar
  1/15 points (4.8g)
  
  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
  1/10 points (1.6g)
  
  A high consumption of fat, especially saturated fats, can raise cholesterol, which increases the risk of heart diseases.
- Salt
  1/20 points (0.23g)
  
  A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Positive points: 9/17
- Proteins
  4/7 points (9.8g)
  
  Foods that are rich in proteins are usually rich in calcium or iron which are essential minerals with numerous health benefits.
- Fiber
  5/5 points (15g)
  
  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 (0%)
  
  Consuming foods rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes reduces the risks of aerodigestive cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes.

- Salt in low quantity (0.225%)
  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.

Additives

E1400 - Dextrin

Dextrin: Dextrins are a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by the hydrolysis of starch or glycogen. Dextrins are mixtures of polymers of D-glucose units linked by α--1→4- or α--1→6- glycosidic bonds. Dextrins can be produced from starch using enzymes like amylases, as during digestion in the human body and during malting and mashing, or by applying dry heat under acidic conditions -pyrolysis or roasting-. The latter process is used industrially, and also occurs on the surface of bread during the baking process, contributing to flavor, color and crispness. Dextrins produced by heat are also known as pyrodextrins. The starch hydrolyses during roasting under acidic conditions, and short-chained starch parts partially rebranch with α--1‚6- bonds to the degraded starch molecule. See also Maillard Reaction. Dextrins are white, yellow, or brown powders that are partially or fully water-soluble, yielding optically active solutions of low viscosity. Most of them can be detected with iodine solution, giving a red coloration; one distinguishes erythrodextrin -dextrin that colours red- and achrodextrin -giving no colour-. White and yellow dextrins from starch roasted with little or no acid are called British gum.

E322 - Lecithins

Lecithins are natural compounds commonly used in the food industry as emulsifiers and stabilizers.

Extracted from sources like soybeans and eggs, lecithins consist of phospholipids that enhance the mixing of oil and water, ensuring smooth textures in various products like chocolates, dressings, and baked goods.

They do not present any known health risks.

E322i - Lecithin

Lecithins are natural compounds commonly used in the food industry as emulsifiers and stabilizers.

Extracted from sources like soybeans and eggs, lecithins consist of phospholipids that enhance the mixing of oil and water, ensuring smooth textures in various products like chocolates, dressings, and baked goods.
