> In Switzerland, Nesquik bears the light-green Nutri-Score B. This is due to the way in which the Nutri-Score is calculated: (1) the rating takes into account both negative and positive nutritional properties; (2) not the product itself is assessed but the preparation (in this case: powder + milk); and (3) the rating is based on a specific recipe defined by Nestlé itself, in this case a combination of very little Nesquik powder with a lot of semi skimmed milk, whose favourable nutritional values raise the rating into the green range.
And of course you’re not showing the composition so you can make your dumb point pretending they are the exact same product.
The nutriscore looks at the nutritional values per 100g of product…. which makes NO sense for products that are NOT processed: olive oils and butter and salt and flour get E’s, but Nestlé’s products (which contain even worse ingredients, like corn syrup and palmoil) get B’s and A’s… as if people choose between 100g of this cereal crap or drinking 100g of olive oil. It’s pure retardation to fool the customer.
Oh, and Nestlés just plays around with the numbers (add some sugar, remove some salt, etc) to get the nutriscore that they want. It’s not about product quality, or health, it’s about marketing.
it’s useless anyways.. if you care about your health just look at the ingredients. it’s not that hard to figure out what’s healthy
Not sure anyone purchasing nestle products cares about nutriscore or similar.
Yuka is a good app to easily check if something is good or not by scanning the barcode.
There should also be an ethical score
The Nesquick ones have a A. But they indeed are not as sweet anymore
Did anyone notice? The label is C on the package on the left and D on the package on the right. Though it is the same product!
Was anything changed from the D-score to the C-score? Less sugar, or anything else? Or 100% the same product and they adjust the score somehow to make it appear more healthy? I know Nutriscore is quite a joke, but they do have their rules..
If you buy Nestle you deserve your cancer.
Well, it’s pretty clear: If you look carefully, the top corners of the right box are slightly damaged. This is why that particular box got a worse Nutriscore!
Instead of relying on a food scoring system peddled by an unethical company, I’d recommend the website / app Yuka which provides a score based on actual ingredients and warns if theres bad stuff with health risks.

Why is it not labeled on all products?
Take the C and enjoy a healthy breakfast!
Yeah, it’s a bullshit score peddled by Nestlé.

The nutiscore algorithm changed this summer.
