Talk:Nutri-Score

Nutritional rating systems
A good reason why Nutri-Score is not mentioned on Nutritional rating systems page? CharlesNepote (talk) 13:26, 17 September 2020 (UTC)

Broken link for DOI / weird citation
The citation given for the calculation of the nutri score seems very wrong. First, a modal shift to environmentally friendly rail has nothing to do with nutrition scoring, second the link leads nowhere, the DOI seems to be non-existent. 2001:4090:A246:8024:516F:D2E8:16E:C6E9 (talk) 08:39, 5 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes, that does not make sense. Citation removed. Sebastian (talk) 07:44, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Wild misrepresentation of cited articles on efficacy
I have removed a sentence from efficacy section after reading the cited references: "The study [performed in France] confirmed that Nutri-Score product labelling is the most efficient in promoting healthy dietary choices, particularly among lower income consumers."

In the conclusions section authors write EXPLICITLY: "The above studies lead to some tentative conclusions. FOP labels, especially MTL, warning labels, and Nutri-Score, assist shoppers in recognizing which foods are healthier. But there is little hard evidence that this enhanced knowledge has a signiﬁcant impact on actual shopping behaviour."

and

"A limitation of the review is that related areas were excluded including discussion of which FOP label is most preferred by shoppers and of demographic factors that may aﬀect ﬁndings, such as socioeconomic status."

While the second citation mentiones neither France, nor Nutri-Score, is entirely about India and certainly does not say Nutri-Score is especially effective among the low income French. Worryingly this paper is cited in other sections of this article. RadostW (talk) 16:41, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Categories??
In the criticism section (and many online reports) it is stated that the scores can only be used to compare WITHIN food categories and not ACROSS categories. Howeverit I have not managed to find a definition of these categories. In a previous Dutch system, stock cubes (negative as too much salt) and mayonaise (still moderately high in fat, sugar and salt but not very high in those scored ok). Lumping stock cubes with mayonaise in a category may make sense for logistics (these products tend to be placed in the same supermarket section) - but from the point of view of consumers it is (in my view) insane to do so. The use of stock-cubes as condiment/sauce is non-existent and hence clearly not part of the same consumer category. Given that these insanities may be the case here and that it is not easy to find the categories on the web the validity of the entire system seems to be rather shaky. This seems all extremely dodgy and non-transparent to me. Can someone add some clear information on how categories are composed (I could not find it on the web)?
