Transparent nutrition references per 100 g
Copy the per-100 g values from the label. The tool compares each nutrient with the adult reference intakes and calculates a simple indicator whose whole method is shown. It is neither Nutri-Score nor any official label.
General information, not medical advice. This result does not replace a doctor. If in doubt or if you have symptoms, see a health professional.

- An indicator specific to this site: it is not Nutri-Score or any official label, and it does not judge a single food. What counts is your diet over time.
Inputs

How it is calculated
Adult reference intakes: 2,000 kcal, 90 g sugars, 20 g saturated fat, 6 g salt (EU Regulation 1169/2011, Annex XIII); 25 g fibre and 50 g protein as common values.

How it is calculated
- Adult reference intakes: 2,000 kcal, 90 g sugars, 20 g saturated fat, 6 g salt (EU Regulation 1169/2011, Annex XIII); 25 g fibre and 50 g protein as common values.
- For each nutrient: points = whole part of (% of the reference intake per 100 g ÷ 5). Up to 10 points for energy, sugars, saturates and salt; 5 for fibre and protein.
- Indicator = points to limit − favourable points. 3 or less: low; 4 to 10: moderate; 11 to 18: high; 19 or more: very high.
Example
Cereal: 380 kcal, 20 g sugars, 2 g saturates, 0.8 g salt, 6 g fibre, 9 g protein per 100 g: 11 points to limit, 7 favourable, indicator 4 (moderate).
Good to know
- Compares 100 g, not a real portion: 100 g of oil and 100 g of soup are not eaten the same way.
- Ignores vitamins, minerals, processing and particular needs (children, pregnancy, illness).
- Label values are themselves rounded.
