Salt in moderate quantity (0.3%)
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.

Green Score
Overall grade
High 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.

Deforestation risk details
Cocoa
Primary ingredient grade: B
Primary ingredient: 0.060 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.
