Salt in high quantity (2.8%)
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

E450 - Diphosphates EFSA overexposure risk: highEmulsifierHumectantSequestrantStabiliserThickener
Diphosphates (E450) are food additives often utilized to modify the texture of products, acting as leavening agents in baking and preventing the coagulation of canned food.
These salts can stabilize whipped cream and are also found in powdered products to maintain their flow properties. They are commonly present in baked goods, processed meats, and soft drinks.
Derived from phosphoric acid, they're part of our daily phosphate intake, which often surpasses recommended levels due to the prevalence of phosphates in processed foods and drinks.
Excessive phosphate consumption is linked to health issues, such as impaired kidney function and weakened bone health. Though diphosphates are generally regarded as safe when consumed within established acceptable daily intakes, it's imperative to monitor overall phosphate consumption to maintain optimal health.

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.
→ 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
Palm oil
Primary ingredient grade: B
Primary ingredient: 0.001 m² per kg of food
Palm oil production, concentrated mainly in Indonesia and Malaysia, contributes significantly to deforestation. Borneo has lost more than half of its forests since the 1970s.
Other risky ingredients
These ingredients are not yet assessed for deforestation risk:
rice 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.
