Just read Nestle is withdrawing from Nutriscore in Switzerland. I don't know the system and how they calculate scores, but how can be 22g of sugars in 100g result in an A (the best score)? It sounds counterintuitive.

  1. As they state on the package, they consider the milk and you eat a front with it I think.. it’s a bit of a joke..

  3. I also didn’t like it. Apparently they found a way around. My guess is that they reverse engineer the formula used to calculate the nutriscore and accordingly add some vitamins and do similar tricks to get it.

  5. NutriScore is a bit of a misleading indicator. It compares the products with other products of their kind. It is not an absolute score on how good it is, as you are not comparing sugarish cereals with broccoli but rather with other cereals.

  8. They added fiber and whole wheat and there is not much salt. But in my opinion it should count as a dessert

  10. Nutriscore is absolutely useless and misleading.. really a shame that they are allowed to use it like this.

  12. They cheat the system, the high fiber amounts, low salt, and vitamins they added boost the score.

  14. I don’t care about Nutriscore. I much rather prefer using YUKA app. It helps me to filter some products at it is very easy to see the macros and especially the additives. For me, seeing what additives are in and how harmful they are is a key point. Most of the people have no clue if an E471 is bad… But this app really gives a quick overview of what we are buying.

  16. It should be common sense that one should not eat this kind of stuff excessively. Only kids who need to gain multiple kilos a year can afford to eat this stuff without punishment by diabetes, overweight etc.

  17. Marketing tricks. Usually, it’s an absolute scam; everything it’s displayed on the front of the box is misleadeing. Check the ingredients, and if you see something that’s not a whole food, except for the oils( sunflower, rapeseed, coconut), everything else is highly processed, and there’s a pretty good chance it contains the whole periodic table.

  19. just check the ingredient list and the per 100g nutritional info if you wanna know if something is healthy or not

  20. Nutri Score is a scam made up by Nestle. Just look at the nutritional table instead

  21. because people with zero clue about nutrition think sugar is poison, when in fact they just eat too many kcal overall.

  22. It’s comparing between products in the same category. But you don’t need a NutriScore to know that cereals are not healthy, so a cereal NutriScore A is not really better than cereal NutriScore D.

  23. The Nutriscore will be changed to CO2 usage in production… You montly consumption of CO2 will have a limit… If you want to surpass the limit you will have to pay a small fine, for the environment, you know… Wait and see…

  24. Those highly transformed stuff are just bad. When you look at the ingredients the first one is the highest Gomes on to the last. It’s only with a bit of protein and fibers to have an a… use the app Yuka you’ll see the truth

  25. Because Nestle is dodging negative scores through manipulative marketing.

    Look ibto the criteria for nutriscore. I do not think that this score actually tells you that you’re eating healthy, but just points out the general nutritional values compared to other products.

    This score is nothing more than just another misleading indicator for “healthy” foods.

  26. This score is worthless, it will put blue cheese (very healthy) at E and potatoe chips (terrible) as A
