Where the points went

The full breakdown, exactly as the algorithm scored it. How our rating works

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 50/100 across 1 ingredients (declared percentages used for 1, position estimates for the rest). Named meat is only 0% of the recognised recipe, so the quality score is anchored down towards a plant-led food.
16 / 40
Label clarity
Every ingredient individually named (+5); percentages cover 100% of the recipe (+6); recipe reads as a fixed formula (+2).
13 / 15
Additives
No artificial colours, flavours, controversial preservatives or added sugars found.
10 / 10
Red flags
No red-flag ingredients.
0 / 0
Meat content
Meat content not declared and no named meat leads the label.
0 / 15
Nutritional balance
Composition not fully declared - scored neutral (4/10) until the analytical constituents are published.
4 / 10
Processing
Gently cooked fresh food - low temperatures with a pathogen kill step.

Our analysis

Breaking the 53 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 16 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.

The label declares no meat percentage at all, so there is no way to verify how much of the recipe is animal protein, and the ingredient list names things individually rather than hiding them in catch-all categories.

Ingredients

Straight from the label, grouped by role - every ingredient is coloured by our published classification and links to its full page.
