Signal classes

Need attention

High sodium content (2200 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.
Formulation markers such as naatriumglutamaat, ksantaankummi support a more processed classification.
A long ingredient list (30 ingredients) supports a more processed classification.

Supporting factors

Mandatory field coverage is strong (75%).

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 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 5.5 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.
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. · Koostises leidub ka säilitusaine E211, mis võib signaali konteksti tugevdada.
See on ettevaatlik kontekstisignaal. Mõju sõltub tundlikkusest, kogusest ja üldisest toitumismustrist.
