Where the points went

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

Ingredient quality
Weighted ingredient quality 62/100 across 5 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.
20 / 40
Label clarity
Every ingredient individually named (+5); percentages cover 40% of the recipe (+2.4); recipe reads as a fixed formula (+2).
9.4 / 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

Our analysis

Breaking the 54 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 20 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 is only partly specific.

Ingredients

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