Nutri-Score label (A) for the highest nutritional quality. The Nutri-Score, also known as the 5-Colour Nutrition label or 5-CNL, is a five-colour nutrition label and nutritional rating system [1] and an attempt to simplify the nutritional rating system demonstrating the overall nutritional value of food products. It assigns products a rating ...
