How NOVA works
The NOVA classification assigns food products into 4 groups based on their degree of processing:
1. Unprocessed or minimally processed foods
2. Processed culinary ingredients
3. Processed foods
4. Ultra-processed food and drink products
Additives
E621 - Monosodium glutamate EFSA overexposure risk: highFlavour Enhancer
E621 - Monosodium glutamate EFSA overexposure risk: highFlavour Enhancer
Monosodium glutamate (MSG), or E621, is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid found naturally in many foods.
It is widely used as a flavor enhancer to provide an "umami" or savory taste to a variety of processed foods, including soups, snack chips, and frozen meals.
MSG is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by food authorities. However, some people report sensitivity to MSG, experiencing short-term symptoms like headaches and flushing, though scientific studies have not shown a consistent link.

The Green-Score is an experimental score that summarizes the environmental impacts of food products.
Current scope
The Green-Score was initially developed for France and it is being extended to other European countries.
The Green-Score formula is subject to change as it is regularly improved to make it more precise and better suited to each country.
Select a country to include the full impact of transportation in the final score.
