How the ratings work

Computed with the Nutri-Score nutrient-profiling model: penalty points for energy, sugar, saturated fat and salt per 100 g, offset by points for fibre and protein. A lower total gives a better grade. Oils, ghee and nuts use the fats sub-scale (saturated-fat share of total fat). Fruit / vegetable content isn’t on the label, so it is treated as zero; drinks aren’t graded yet. A product is shown as Not rated when its panel is incomplete or only given per serving.

• A

  Great — Best-in-class — low in sugar, salt and saturated fat, usually with some fibre or protein.

• B

  Good — A sound everyday choice; slightly higher in one nutrient of concern.

• C

  Moderate — Fine occasionally — watch the portion size.

• D

  Poor — High in sugar, salt or saturated fat; best kept to a treat.

• E

  Avoid — Very high in sugar, salt and/or saturated fat — a rare treat only.

Black “Excess” seals are computed on the PAHO / WHO nutrient profile thresholds per 100 g. Indicative only; not an official seal. A seal shows when a threshold is crossed:

• Excess calories — ≥ 275 kcal per 100 g (solid foods).
• Excess sugar — sugars ≥ 10% of energy (added sugars when declared).
• Excess saturated fat — saturated fat ≥ 10% of energy.
• Excess sodium — ≥ 1 mg sodium per 1 kcal of energy.
• Excess trans fat — ≥ 0.2 g trans fat per 100 g.

Values as declared on the pack. Sugars, Fat and Sodium are traffic-lit; the rest are shown for context only. "Not available" means the pack doesn't declare that nutrient at all.

• Green — Low — Within the healthy range per serving (UK FSA front-of-pack thresholds).

• Amber — Medium — Neither low nor high — a reasonable amount, but not free rein.

• Red — High — Above the guideline amount per serving; the nutrient to watch on this pack.

• Blue — Protein — Shown for reference — a beneficial nutrient, not scored.

• Teal — Fibre — Shown for reference — more is generally better, not scored.

• Grey — Carbs — Context only — no colour judgement applied.
