Signal classes

Supporting factors

Fiber (3.5 g/100 g) supports the nutrition score.

Need attention

High sodium content (529 mg/100 g) weakens the nutrition score.
High saturated fat (15.87 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 3 anchors the processing indicator.
A long ingredient list (13 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.
