Supporting factors

Fiber (13.1 g/100 g) supports the nutrition score.

Need attention

High sugar content (131 g/100 g) weakens the nutrition score.
High saturated fat (19.7 g/100 g) weakens the nutrition score.

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 titaandioksiid, letsitiin support a more processed classification.
A long ingredient list (30 ingredients) supports a more processed classification.

Supporting factors

Mandatory field coverage is strong (88%).

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 partial. The interpretation is usable but some conclusions may be refined.

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 131 g/100 g ületab toidule rakendatud lävendi 10 g/100 g.
See on riskisignaal, mitte diagnoos. Mõju sõltub kogusest, tarbimissagedusest ja kogu toitumismustrist.
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.
Kõrge küllastunud rasva sisaldus
Ettevaatlikkus
Kõrge küllastunud rasva osakaal on oluline signaal, eriti kui sarnaseid tooteid tarbitakse sageli.
Kohe
Võib muuta toidukorra energiarikkamaks ja tekitada mõnel inimesel raskustunnet.
Pikemas vaates
Sage tarbimine võib tõsta ebasoodsa vere lipiidiprofiili riski.
Ettevaatus: mõõdukasTõenduse tase: mõõdukasSihtrühm: lapsed ja täiskasvanudAllikas: toitaine lävend
Loogika: saturatedFat100g > 5 g/100 g.
Signaalid: Küllastunud rasv 19.7 g/100 g ületab lävendi 5 g/100 g.
Riskitõlgendus sõltub kogu rasvaprofiilist ja üldisest menüüst, mitte vaid ühest näitajast.
Teatud sünteetilised värvained ja tähelepanu riskisignaal
Kontekstisignaal
Teatud sünteetilised värvained on seotud tähelepanu-riskisignaaliga, eriti laste kontekstis.
Kohe
Mõnel lapsel võib esineda aktiivsuse või tähelepanu muutust.
Pikemas vaates
Tõendus on kontekstipõhine; signaal aitab hinnata koostise profiili ega tähenda automaatselt kahjulikku toimet kõigile.
Ettevaatus: kontekstTõenduse tase: piiratud/kontekstipõhineSihtrühm: lapsed ja täiskasvanudAllikas: koostise muster
Loogika: Koostises või additiivides leidub E102, E104, E110, E122, E124, E129 (vajadusel koos E211).
Signaalid: Leitud sünteetiliste värvainete koodid: E129.
See on ettevaatlik kontekstisignaal. Mõju sõltub tundlikkusest, kogusest ja üldisest toitumismustrist.

Kuidas me hindame?

Miks olulineKohePikemas vaates

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 131 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).

Lisa-kontekstB / C kiht

Kõrge küllastunud rasva taustsignaal
B-kiht: ettevaatlikkuse signaalMõõdukas teaduslik alus
Küllastunud rasva signaal aitab hinnata, kas toode sobib lapse menüüs pigem harvemaks valikuks.
Teatud sünteetilised värvained ja tähelepanu kontekst
B-kiht: ettevaatlikkuse signaalKontekstisignaal
Värvainete signaal tähendab, et tootes on lisandeid, mida osa vanemaid soovib laste puhul teadlikult piirata.
