What pulled it down
Okay nutrition cannot be rated Excellent
The box is middling. That is fine as a sometimes food. It is not everyday Excellent.
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.
A cluster of extras blocks Excellent or Good
A cluster of extras keeps this at Poor: a sometimes product, not a habit.
An okay nutrition box
Sugars are modest. Middling — fine sometimes.
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.
Acesulfame K
-14Intense sweetener. Limited long-term data; gut microbiome questions.
Carrageenan
-14Degraded carrageenan is inflammatory in animal studies. Debate continues.
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

Sugar
Low concernNot a toxin. A teaspoon is a teaspoon. The issue is how many hide in drinks and breakfast.
Milk
No concernA staple for people who digest it. An allergen for people who don’t.
