Is this Nutri-Score calculator compliant with EU Regulation 1169/2011?

Yes, this professional calculator uses the exact FSA-NPS algorithm approved by Santé publique France and recognized for front-of-pack labeling under EU Regulation 1169/2011. It includes all 2024 updates and category-specific calculations for beverages, cheese, fats, and red meat products.

Can QA teams use this for official product labeling and compliance documentation?

Absolutely. This tool is designed for quality assurance professionals and provides the same calculations used for official Nutri-Score labeling. The detailed point breakdown can be exported for compliance records, R&D documentation, and regulatory audits.

How does the calculator handle special product categories like plant-based alternatives?

Plant-based alternatives are calculated using the general food category unless they're specifically marketed as cheese or fat replacements. The tool correctly applies protein caps, fiber bonuses, and fruit/vegetable percentages according to the official algorithm.

What's the difference between nutriscore and nutri-score calculations?

There is no difference - 'nutriscore' and 'nutri-score' refer to the same official system. This calculator handles both search terms and always uses the official FSA-NPS algorithm, regardless of spelling. The hyphenated version 'Nutri-Score' is the official trademark.

Can this tool help with product reformulation to achieve better scores?

Yes, the integrated simulator allows R&D teams to test reformulation scenarios in real-time. The AI-powered suggestions identify the most impactful changes (typically salt and sugar reduction for processed foods). You can model multiple scenarios and export comparisons for management presentations.

Is batch processing available for multiple SKUs?

The free calculator processes one product at a time for accurate validation. For batch processing of entire product portfolios, CSV import/export, and automated reporting, Eclarion's full platform provides these enterprise features with API access and ERP integration.

How accurate are the calculations compared to official Nutri-Score tools?

This calculator achieves 100% accuracy by implementing the exact FSA-NPS algorithm including all special cases: beverages use different thresholds, cheese has adjusted protein calculations, fats use total fat instead of saturated fat, and red meat has stricter limits.

Can we integrate this calculator into our quality management system?

The standalone calculator is designed for manual verification and spot checks. For QMS integration, automated workflows, and API access, Eclarion's enterprise platform offers full integration with existing ERP and PLM systems, including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics.
