Calculate the Nutri-Score yourself - but how?

Here is a quick guide for you:
- Search for nutritional values on the packaging
- Select the correct product category
- Enter the nutritional values in the calculator

Please note:
The nutrient "Carbohydrates" is not taken into account in the Nutri-Score calculator, so this field is permanently greyed out. If the line"Fruits, vegetables, pulses" is not relevant for the respective product, it can simply be left blank or filled with 0.

Nutri Score Bad Nutrition

Determine unfavourable nutritional values

The unfavourable components of a food include calorific value/energy, sugar, saturated fatty acids and salt. These increase the number of points and the worse the Nutri-Score.

Using the example of GOLDSTEIG Protinella Kugel, the following values per 100g result: Calorific value/energy 638 kJ = 1 point, sugar 1.4 g = 0 points, saturated fatty acids 5.3 g = 5 points, salt 0.40 g = 1 point. According to this calculation, the GOLDSTEIG Protinella Kugel scores +7 points.

Nutri Score Good Nutrition

Determine favourable nutritional values

Fruits, vegetables, pulses (%), fibre and protein are considered to be favourable components of a food. These components reduce the score - the lower the Nutri-Score, the better the nutritional profile. 

Using GOLDSTEIG Protinella Kugel as an example, this results in the following values per 100g: Fruit, vegetables, pulses 0 % = 0 points, fibre 0 g = 0 points, protein 20 g = -7 points. According to this calculation, the GOLDSTEIG Protinella Kugel scores -7 points.

Determine result

Determining the number of points for the unfavourable and favourable nutritional values gives the following overall result: unfavourable nutritional values total 7 points - favourable nutritional values total -7 points = 0 points. In order to be able to determine the overall result from a Nutri-Score, you must first take a look at the food traffic light.

The food traffic light: Min to 0: dark green A, 1 to 2: light green B, 3 to 10: yellow C, 11 to 18: orange D, 19 to Max: red E. 

The GOLDSTEIG Protinella ball falls into the first category with 0 points and therefore has a dark green A and is therefore awarded the best Nutri-Score value.
