NUTRISCORE - New healthier products according to Nutriscore levels A, B, C, D and E
NUTRISCORE-Nuevos productos más saludables según el nivel Nutriscore A,B,C,D,E.
Objectives
The aim of this project was to improve the nutritional classification of meat derivatives based on the development of ingredient formulation strategies and adaptations to the manufacturing processes.
1. Diagnose the current situation of meat derivatives, based on the NUTRISCORE visual nutrition classification system.
2. Identify opportunities for incorporating new ingredients into the product formulation.
3. Develop formulation and process strategies to improve nutrition labelling.

Context
Voluntary front-of-pack nutrition labelling schemes, most commonly NUTRISCORE, have proven to be a major influence on consumers’ purchasing decisions, and France, Belgium, Spain and Germany have announced their willingness to issue regulations governing their use by companies. These countries have a significant market and political weight within the EU, increasing the likelihood that front-of-pack nutrition labelling will become compulsory and unified within the EU in the near future.
The aim of this project is to improve the nutritional classification of the meat derivatives defined by the participating companies in order to achieve better positioning with respect to competing products among consumers.
