  • What is the Nutri-Score?

    The Nutri-Score is a logo on the overall nutritional quality of products.

    The score from A to E is calculated based on nutrients and foods to favor (proteins, fiber, fruits, vegetables and legumes ...) and nutrients to limit (calories, saturated fat, sugars, salt).The score is calculated from the data of the nutrition facts table and the composition data (fruits, vegetables and legumes).

• E415 - Xanthan gum

  Xanthan gum (E415) is a natural polysaccharide derived from fermentedsugars, often used in the food industry as a thickening and stabilizingagent.

  This versatile food additive enhances texture and prevents ingredientseparation in a wide range of products, including salad dressings,sauces, and gluten-free baked goods.

  It is considered safe for consumption even at high intake amounts.

• E450 - Diphosphates

  Diphosphates (E450) are food additives often utilized to modify thetexture of products, acting as leavening agents in baking and preventingthe coagulation of canned food.

  These salts can stabilize whipped cream and are also found in powderedproducts to maintain their flow properties. They are commonly present inbaked goods, processed meats, and soft drinks.

  Derived from phosphoric acid, they're part of our daily phosphateintake, which often surpasses recommended levels due to the prevalenceof phosphates in processed foods and drinks.

  Excessive phosphate consumption is linked to health issues, such asimpaired kidney function and weakened bone health. Though diphosphatesare generally regarded as safe when consumed within establishedacceptable daily intakes, it's imperative to monitor overall phosphateconsumption to maintain optimal health.

• E450i - Disodium diphosphate

• E471 - Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids

  Mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids (E471), are food additivescommonly used as emulsifiers in various processed foods.

  These compounds consist of glycerol molecules linked to one or twofatty acid chains, which help stabilize and blend water and oil-basedingredients. E471 enhances the texture and shelf life of productslike margarine, baked goods, and ice cream, ensuring a smooth andconsistent texture.

  It is generally considered safe for consumption within establishedregulatory limits.

• E500 - Sodium carbonates

  Sodium carbonates (E500) are compounds commonly used in food preparationas leavening agents, helping baked goods rise by releasing carbon dioxidewhen they interact with acids.

  Often found in baking soda, they regulate the pH of food, preventing itfrom becoming too acidic or too alkaline. In the culinary world, sodiumcarbonates can also enhance the texture and structure of foods, such asnoodles, by modifying the gluten network.

  Generally recognized as safe, sodium carbonates are non-toxic whenconsumed in typical amounts found in food.

• E500ii - Sodium hydrogen carbonate

  Sodium hydrogen carbonate, also known as E500ii, is a food additivecommonly used as a leavening agent.

  When added to recipes, it releases carbon dioxide gas upon exposure toheat or acids, causing dough to rise and resulting in a light, fluffytexture in baked goods.

  It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory authorities whenused in appropriate quantities and poses no significant health risks whenconsumed in typical food applications.
