Salt in high quantity (11.2%)
What you need to know
• A high consumption of salt (or sodium) can cause raised blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Many people who have high blood pressure do not know it, as there are often no symptoms.
• Most people consume too much salt (on average 9 to 12 grams per day), around twice the recommended maximum level of intake.
Recommendation: Limit the consumption of salt and salted food
• Reduce the quantity of salt used when cooking, and don't salt again at the table.
• Limit the consumption of salty snacks and choose products with lower salt content.

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

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.
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.

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.
