The Nutri-Score is a health label for food and beverage. Since nutritional information can be added to ingredients and recipes, you have the possibility of generating the Nutri-Score label for your recipes.
Any operator wishing to use Nutri-Score must first obtain the licence to use the Nutri-Score brand from Santé Publique France. You can find out how in the following documents or visit this website for the latest information. An additional procedure may be required by your local authority.
