Signal classes

Need attention

High sugar content (23.72 g/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 ksantaankummi, karboksümetüültselluloos support a more processed classification.
A long ingredient list (61 ingredients) supports a more processed classification.

Supporting factors

Mandatory field coverage is strong (75%).

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 23.7 g/100 g ületab toidule rakendatud lävendi 10 g/100 g.
See on riskisignaal, mitte diagnoos. Mõju sõltub kogusest, tarbimissagedusest ja kogu toitumismustrist.
Töödeldud lihatooted ja nitritid
Tugevam hoiatus
Töödeldud lihatooted ja nitriti/nitraadi markerid viitavad kõrgema ettevaatuse vajadusele.
Kohe
Võib suurendada soola- ja säilitusainete koormust ühes toidukorras.
Pikemas vaates
Sage tarbimine seostub kõrgema riskiga ebasoodsatele pikaajalistele tervisenäitajatele.
Ettevaatus: kõrgeTõenduse tase: tugevSihtrühm: lapsed ja täiskasvanudAllikas: kombineeritud tuvastus
Loogika: Kategooria viitab töödeldud lihale või koostises/additiivides leidub E249, E250, E251, E252.
Signaalid: Koostises tuvastati markerid: nitraat.
See signaal ei asenda personaalset nõustamist. Tõlgendus sõltub tarbimissagedusest ja portsjoni suurusest.
Madal kiudainesisaldus ja rafineeritud süsivesikud
Ettevaatlikkus
Madal kiudainesisaldus ja rafineeritud süsivesikud viitavad toidule, mis toetab nõrgemalt täiskõhutunnet.
Kohe
Võib põhjustada kiiremat glükoosikõikumist ja varasemat näljatunnet.
Pikemas vaates
Sage tarbimine võib halvendada üldist toidukvaliteeti ja seostub ebasoodsama ainevahetusprofiiliga.
Ettevaatus: mõõdukasTõenduse tase: mõõdukasSihtrühm: lapsed ja täiskasvanudAllikas: kombineeritud tuvastus
Loogika: fiber100g < 1.5 g/100 g või fiber100g < 3 g/100 g koos rafineeritud süsivesikute markeritega.
Signaalid: Kiudained 0 g/100 g jäävad alla üldlävendi 3 g/100 g. · Kiudainesisaldus jääb alla tugeva riskisignaali lävendi 1.5 g/100 g. · Leitud rafineeritud süsivesiku markerid: nisujahu, maisitärklis.
Riskisignaal sõltub kogu menüü kiudainete tasemest, mitte ainult ühest tootest.
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 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 23.7 g/100 g ületab toidule rakendatud lävendi 10 g/100 g.
Madal kiudainesisaldus ja rafineeritud süsivesikud
Selge riskisignaal
Madal kiudainesisaldus on lapse vaates oluline, sest see mõjutab nii täiskõhutunnet kui ka seedimise mugavust.
Miks oluline
Rakendus kuvab selle, et aidata vanemal hoida lapse menüüs rohkem täistera, kaunvilju, puu- ja köögivilju.
Kohe
Võimalik on kiirem näljatunde taastumine või raskem seedimine.
Pikemas vaates
Võib vähendada lapse menüü üldist kvaliteeti ja hoida kiudainete tarbimise püsivalt liiga madalal.
A-kiht: põhiriskisignaalTugev teaduslik alusLapse olulisus: kõrge
Põhineb tugeval rahvusvahelisel juhisel: WHO süsivesikute kvaliteedi ja kiudainete soovitused.
Signaalid: Kiudained 0 g/100 g jäävad alla üldlävendi 3 g/100 g. · Kiudainesisaldus jääb alla tugevama alamsignaali lävendi 1.5 g/100 g. · Leitud rafineeritud süsivesiku markerid: nisujahu, maisitärklis.
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

Töödeldud liha ja nitritite hariv signaal
C-kiht: hariv kontekstMõõdukas teaduslik alus
Kui toode kuulub töödeldud liha profiili, kuvame selle vanemale pika vaate hariva märkusena.
