Signal classes

Supporting factors

Fiber (3.6 g/100 g) supports the nutrition score.

Need attention

High sodium content (929 mg/100 g) weakens the nutrition score.
High saturated fat (8.93 g/100 g) weakens the nutrition score.
Added sugars are unavailable, so sugar handling relies conservatively on total sugars.

Uncertain or missing data

Fruit, vegetable, legume, and nut share was inferred heuristically.

What would improve the assessment

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

Need attention

Declared NOVA group 4 anchors the processing indicator.
Isolated or heavily fractionated ingredients (3 markers) support a more processed classification.
Formulation markers such as inosinaat, guanülaat support a more processed classification.
A long ingredient list (49 ingredients) supports a more processed classification.

Supporting factors

Mandatory field coverage is strong (75%).

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 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 2.3 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.
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 8.9 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: E102, E110.
See on ettevaatlik kontekstisignaal. Mõju sõltub tundlikkusest, kogusest ja üldisest toitumismustrist.

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 2.3 g/100 g ületab lävendi 1.2 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.
