Nutri-Score: Calcu­la­tion, Check & Consulting

In order for you to be able to create, present and improve the Nutri-Score correctly under food law, bilacon offers a compre­hen­sive support. The inter­na­tional Regu­la­tory Affairs Team supports you in the following points:

Calcu­la­tion

The calcu­la­tion of the nutri­tional score is based on the nutri­tional value table. The score is composed by nega­tive and posi­tive points, added up to a final mark. In the end, the food product obtain a score from ‑15 to 40 and the corre­sponding logo, from logo A to logo E. The lower the score is, the more the food product contributes to a healthy and balanced diet.

Check

For checking services of the Nutri-Score, trained experts review all the infor­ma­tion and calcu­la­tions to ensure that they are correct. This includes calcu­la­tion check but also design checking, regarding the posi­tion and graphic char­ac­ter­is­tics of the logo on the label.

Eco-Score: Sustain­ability labelling for food

The Eco-Score, which eval­u­ates the envi­ron­mental prop­er­ties of a food product, also helps consumers to decide what to buy. Here, the product is rated in five levels: A means the product has a low impact on the envi­ron­ment and E means the product has a high impact on the environment.

Our expert will support you in calcu­lating the Eco-Score for your product and will be avail­able to advise you.

We are also happy to support you with our many years of expe­ri­ence and exper­tise in the following matters:

• Addi­tional review of spec­i­fi­ca­tions and docu­ments (e.g. certificates)
