In our platform we offer many different health data points that can be used to enrich product data, create smart filtering functionalities and customized health scoring systems for products.
We have automated the calculation of Nutri-Score (nutritional rating score) and the NOVA categorization system (level of processing). By interpreting and indexing every single product down to ingredient level, we make it possible to tag each food item with fully customizable health and lifestyle tags.
We have also developed a proprietary allergen detection algorithm that detects more than 50 allergens.
Automated scores
We have automated the calculation of Nutri-Score (European industry standard health score) and the NOVA groups (measure of how processed food is) for all products in Sweden. Read more about Nutri-Score here and NOVA score here.
Although these scores don’t have to be presented to the end consumer, it can be used internally, for example, to filter products with a higher Nutri-Score in the portfolio. Nutri-Score can also be used to build customized health scoring systems where it can be combined with other health indicators. All of this is made possible with FoodFacts' intelligent food data and proprietary calculation algorithms.

Fully customizable lifestyle and health tags
About Nutri-Score
Nutri-Score is a nutritional label and rating system designed to provide consumers with clear and concise information on the nutrional profile of food products. It ranges from A to E, where A is the best grade and was developed by French government. Nutri-Score is officially recommended in several European countries, including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the United Kingdom.
About Nova
Nova is a system for categorizing foods according to the degree of processing, from unprocessed (1) to ultra-processed (4). The Nova classification was developed by Carlos A. Monteiro, a nutrition and public health professor at the University of São Paulo in Brazil, and his team of researchers. It is used as a validated tool in public health and nutrition research and is internationally recognized by organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Smart scoring systems
Several of our health indicators can be combined with each other, using our calculation algorithms to create customized health scoring systems for products. It could be a score that, for example, rates a product based on level of processing (NOVA), nutritional value (Nutri-Score) and sugar content, as well as gives extra points to products that don’t contain less favorable ingredients, like palm oil or certain additives.
Our fully customizable tags and smart scoring systems can help you with better category management decisions. You will be able to continuously measure and improve your portfolio as well as drive healthier and better food consumption. With our enriched product data you can become more aligned with your CSR objectives and company food philosophy.
