Image: Garden Gourmet Cheese & Ham-Style Crispy Twist package showing a vegetarian frozen food product in a clear plastic tray. The green and yellow branded packaging displays a golden-brown breaded cylindrical food item cut in half to reveal a cheese and ham-style filling inside. The package includes a pink "9/10 TASTERS LOVE IT" badge, "QUICK & DELICIOUS" label, and indicates the product is high in protein, a source of fiber, and made with wheat and 100% European soy protein. A Nutri-Score A rating and vegetarian symbol are visible, along with an expiration date of 29/07/2025.
I like that they state it on the package, makes me want to purchase their products more than alternatives with no origin specified for any ingredient.
How many products in a store typically print nutrition-score on the package? Do you ever see products scored a B or lower?
The nutrition score is a german thing that our nestle lobby minister pushed. Its worthless because it compares the products in arbitrery categories with each others so a nutri score of A on sweets just means that these are the "healthiest" sweets but they are still far worse than something from another category that has a "lower" score. The worst thing is that the categories are weird sometimes so two products that you would think are in the same category sometimmes arent and you cant compare them withoud looking at the category on the package every time.
I'm not sure about Germany, but this particular nutri-score is Dutch. I know, I live there.
I think its a european thing, and the labratory that gives out these 'scores' is french... but so far it's voluntary for every competitor to use it on their packaging or not...
