Signal classes

Need attention

High sugar content (23.53 g/100 g) weakens the nutrition score.
High sodium content (1706 mg/100 g) weakens the nutrition score.
Added sugars are unavailable, so sugar handling relies conservatively on total sugars.

Need attention

Declared NOVA group 4 anchors the processing indicator.
Isolated or heavily fractionated ingredients (1 markers) support a more processed classification.
Formulation markers such as karamellvärv support a more processed classification.
A long ingredient list (37 ingredients) supports a more processed classification.

Supporting factors

Mandatory field coverage is strong (100%).

What would improve the assessment

Part of this signal relies on inferred values, so direct declared data would improve reliability.

How is the score built?

Open the methodology note

Nutrition score measures nutrient profile only. Processing, environment, label quality, and data confidence stay separate so missing data or formulation signals do not silently change nutrition quality.

The data is broad and consistent. The interpretation is likely to remain stable.

Kõrge vabade suhkrute sisaldus
Tugevam hoiatus
Kõrge vabade suhkrute sisaldus võib tõsta energiakoormust ilma püsivat täiskõhutunnet pakkumata.
Kohe
Võib tekitada kiire energiakõikumise ning varasema näljatunde või suurema janu.
Pikemas vaates
Sage tarbimine seostub kõrgema riskiga ebasoodsale kehakaalu ja ainevahetuse profiilile.
Ettevaatus: kõrgeTõenduse tase: tugevSihtrühm: lapsed ja täiskasvanudAllikas: toitaine lävend
Loogika: Joogid: sugars100g > 5 g/100 ml. Toidud: sugars100g > 10 g/100 g.
Signaalid: Suhkur 23.5 g/100 g ületab toidule rakendatud lävendi 10 g/100 g.
See on riskisignaal, mitte diagnoos. Mõju sõltub kogusest, tarbimissagedusest ja kogu toitumismustrist.
Kõrge soolasisaldus
Tugevam hoiatus
Kõrge soolasisaldus viitab suuremale naatriumikoormusele, mida tasub igapäevases tarbimises piirata.
Kohe
Võib suurendada janu ja mõnel inimesel soodustada vedelikupeetust.
Pikemas vaates
Sage liigne soolatarbimine seostub kõrgema vererõhu riskiga.
Ettevaatus: kõrgeTõenduse tase: tugevSihtrühm: lapsed ja täiskasvanudAllikas: toitaine lävend
Loogika: salt100g > 1.2 g/100 g.
Signaalid: Sool 4.3 g/100 g ületab lävendi 1.2 g/100 g.
Tegu on riskisignaaliga, mitte meditsiinilise hinnanguga. Oluline on kogu päeva soolakoormus.
Ultra-töödeldud toit (NOVA 4)
Ettevaatlikkus
NOVA 4 viitab ulatuslikule tööstuslikule töötlemisele ja suuremale formulatsiooni keerukusele.
Kohe
Võib soodustada ülesöömist, sest maitse- ja tekstuuriprofiil on sageli väga stimuleeriv.
Pikemas vaates
Sage tarbimine seostub kõrgema riskiga ebasoodsatele tervisetulemitele, kuid mõju sõltub toitumismustrist.
Ettevaatus: mõõdukasTõenduse tase: mõõdukasSihtrühm: lapsed ja täiskasvanudAllikas: töötlusklass
Loogika: novaGroup === 4.
Signaalid: NOVA grupp on 4 (ultra-töödeldud klass).
NOVA klass on tarbimismustri signaal ega tähenda üksiku toote põhjal automaatset diagnoosi.

Kuidas me hindame?

Miks olulineKohePikemas vaates

Kõrge soolasisaldus lapse menüüs
Selge riskisignaal
Kui soola on palju, suunab rakendus vanema tähelepanu lapse päevase soolakoormuse ja maitseharjumuste kujunemisele.
Miks oluline
Lapse toitumises tasub väga soolaseid valikuid piirata, sest harjumused kujunevad varakult ja mõjutavad ka hilisemat eelistust.
Kohe
Võib tekkida tugevam janu ja soov juua rohkem.
Pikemas vaates
Võib toetada soolasema maitse eelistust ja ebasoodsat vererõhu riskisuunda.
A-kiht: põhiriskisignaalTugev teaduslik alusLapse olulisus: väga kõrge
Põhineb tugeval rahvusvahelisel juhisel: WHO naatriumisoovitused (lastel kohandatakse vajadus allapoole).
Signaalid: Sool 4.3 g/100 g ületab lävendi 1.2 g/100 g.
Kõrge vabade suhkrute sisaldus lapse toidus
Selge riskisignaal
Kui toidus on palju vabu suhkruid, võib see lapse puhul nõrgendada täiskõhutunnet ja toetada sagedamat magusaisu.
Miks oluline
Rakendus tõstab selle esile, sest laste toitumises mõjutab sage kõrge suhkrukoormus nii päevast söömismustrit kui ka hambatervise riski.
Kohe
Võib tekkida varasem uus näljatunne või suurem janu pärast magusat toidukorda.
Pikemas vaates
Võib kujundada magusamaid maitse-eelistusi ja vähendada menüü üldist toitumiskvaliteeti.
A-kiht: põhiriskisignaalTugev teaduslik alusLapse olulisus: väga kõrge
Põhineb tugeval rahvusvahelisel juhisel: WHO soovitab lastel piirata vabu suhkruid (kaariese ja liigse energiatarbimise riskisuund).
Signaalid: Suhkur 23.5 g/100 g ületab toidule rakendatud lävendi 10 g/100 g.
Ultra-töödeldud profiil (NOVA 4) lapse menüüs
Hariv kontekst
Ultra-töödeldud märge aitab vanemal hinnata, kas toode sobib igapäevaseks valikuks või pigem harvemaks.
Miks oluline
Rakendus kuvab selle lisakontekstina, et toetada lapse menüü üldist kvaliteeti, mitte anda mustvalget otsust ühe toote kohta.
Kohe
Võib tekkida kiire söömise ja varasema uue isu muster.
Pikemas vaates
Sage kasutus võib nihutada menüüd vähem täisväärtusliku toiduprofiili poole.
B-kiht: ettevaatlikkuse signaalMõõdukas teaduslik alusLapse olulisus: kõrge
Põhineb peamiselt epidemioloogilisel ja institutsionaalsel kirjandusel ultra-töödeldud toitude tarbimismustrite kohta.
Signaalid: NOVA grupp on 4 (ultra-töödeldud profiil).
