Sugars in high quantity (9.2%)
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
• Sugary drinks (such as sodas, fruit beverages, and fruit juices and nectars) should be limited as much as possible (no more than 1 glass a day).
• Choose products with lower sugar content and reduce the consumption of products with added sugars.

Salt in low quantity (0.11%)
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
E407 - Carrageenan EFSA overexposure risk: highCarrierEmulsifierHumectantStabiliserThickener
E407 - Carrageenan EFSA overexposure risk: highCarrierEmulsifierHumectantStabiliserThickener
Carrageenan (E407), derived from red seaweed, is widely employed in the food industry as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent, notably in dairy and meat products.
It can exist in various forms, each imparting distinct textural properties to food.
However, its degraded form, often referred to as poligeenan, has raised health concerns due to its potential inflammatory effects and its classification as a possible human carcinogen (Group 2B) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
Nevertheless, food-grade carrageenan has been deemed safe by various regulatory bodies when consumed in amounts typically found in food.
Environment
Green-Score, origins bonus, and transportation impact are shown for Worldwide .
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.

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:
whole milk
skimmed milk
skimmed milk
whole milk powder
skimmed milk powder
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.
