What you should know about the Nutri-Score

The Nutri-Score is a labelling system on a voluntarily basis which was developed by independent scientists. Foods and drinks are rated according to its nutritional profile and classified by a coloured letter scale from A (nutritionally favourable choice) to E (nutritionally unfavourable choice) and printed on the front of the packaging of a product. The Nutri-Score serves as decision-making tool and is a label which is immediately understandable for the consumers.
