E322 - Lecithins
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
E322 - LecithinsAntioxidantEmulsifier
E322 - LecithinsAntioxidantEmulsifier
Lecithins are natural compounds commonly used in the food industry as emulsifiers and stabilizers.
Extracted from sources like soybeans and eggs, lecithins consist of phospholipids that enhance the mixing of oil and water, ensuring smooth textures in various products like chocolates, dressings, and baked goods.
They do not present any known health risks.

Green Score
Overall grade
Unknown environmental impactAbout Green-Score
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.

Forest footprint
Forest footprint
Low risk of deforestation
Presence of one or more ingredients at risk of deforestation, but low risk given their quantity, origin and/or labels.
Forest Footprint
The Forest Footprint is a methodology developed by the association Envol Vert to estimate the risk of deforestation related to our consumption.
→ More information on the methodology
Forest Footprint grade:
B
Presence of one or more ingredients at risk of deforestation, but low risk given their quantity, origin and/or labels.
Total Forest Footprint:

Deforestation risk details
Cocoa
Primary ingredient grade: B
Primary ingredient: 0.056 m² per kg of food
Cocoa production, concentrated mainly in West Africa, contributes significantly to deforestation. For example, Côte d'Ivoire, the leading cocoa-producing country, has lost 90% of its forests since the 1960s.
Labels
The presence of certain labels can greatly help reduce the risk of deforestation, through the presence of environmental criteria and/or through better remuneration of producers.
