Council note
Ultra-processed — flavours, extras, a list a kitchen would not write. A dietitian would not make this a weekday habit. Worse than 9 in 10 packs in Pantry. The swap is on this aisle.

What pulled it down
A weak nutrition box cannot be rated Good
Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate this box. Poor at best — a treat, not a habit.
Ultra-processed food cannot be rated Good
A factory recipe — flavours, colours, or many additives — cannot be rated Good. A sometimes treat, not a daily habit.
Two red lights on the box cannot be rated Good
Two red lights on salt, sugar or saturated fat keep this at Poor, not Good.
A weak nutrition box
About 1.8 teaspoons of sugar in 100 g. Salt is high. Fat is high. Some fibre helps. Sugars, salt or saturated fat dominate.
Ultra-processed
Built in a factory with additives, flavours, or refined extras. A growing pile of research ties a diet of these to poorer health — not because one biscuit is poison, but because the pattern crowds out real food.
Natural flavouring
-5Undisclosed mixture. Usually low toxicological risk, poor transparency.
Nutrition is half the number. Ingredients a quarter. How processed a fifth. Organic is a small bonus — it cannot rescue a sugary drink or a nitrite ham. How this compares to Nutri-Score

Natural flavouring
−5Not a toxin. A sign the recipe needed a perfume. You cannot tell what is inside from the words.
Corn
No concernStaple grain. Fine as food; the extras around it usually decide the score.
Milk
No concernA staple for people who digest it. An allergen for people who don’t.
Salt
No concernThe nutrition box already scores it. A pinch in cooking is not a packet of noodles.
Paprika extractE160c
No concernOrange-red from peppers. A colour, not a concern.
Lactic acidE270
No concernThe sour in yogurt, made in tanks. Fine.
Citric acidE330
No concernNo health concern at usual levels.
