Sugars in high quantity (27%)
What you need to know
• A high consumption of sugar can cause weight gain and tooth decay. It also augments the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases.
Recommendation: Limit the consumption of sugar and sugary drinks

Salt in moderate quantity (0.45%)
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
Additives
E500 - Sodium carbonatesStabiliserThickener
E500 - Sodium carbonatesStabiliserThickener
Sodium carbonates (E500) are compounds commonly used in food preparation as leavening agents, helping baked goods rise by releasing carbon dioxide when they interact with acids.
Often found in baking soda, they regulate the pH of food, preventing it from becoming too acidic or too alkaline. In the culinary world, sodium carbonates can also enhance the texture and structure of foods, such as noodles, by modifying the gluten network.
Generally recognized as safe, sodium carbonates are non-toxic when consumed in typical amounts found in food.

E503 - Ammonium carbonates
E503 - Ammonium carbonates
AMMONIUM BICARBONATE is an inorganic compound with formula (NH4)HCO3, simplified to NH5CO3. Ammonium bicarbonate is used in the food industry as a raising agent for flat baked goods, such as cookies and crackers, and in China in steamed buns and Chinese almond cookies. It was commonly used in the home before modern day baking powder was made available.

Green Score
Overall grade
Low 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.

Deforestation risk details
Cocoa
Primary ingredient grade: B
Primary ingredient: 0.000 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.
Other risky ingredients
These ingredients are not yet assessed for deforestation risk:
rice flour
corn flour
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.
