What is Nutri-Score?
Nutri-Score is a front-of-pack nutritional rating carried on Open Food Facts product records alongside ingredients and additive data.
Because it is published per barcode in the bulk exports, bulk users can score millions of packaged foods on one consistent scale.
In this catalog it appears concretely: - Open Food Facts - Open Database & API — "barcodes, brands, ingredients, Nutri-Score, NOVA, additives and packaging". - Open Food Facts - Nutri-Score and Green-Score, filterable by category including sodas, juices and energy drinks.
Why does Nutri-Score matter when choosing a dataset?
A table is only as good as the column you actually need. If this field is absent, sparsely populated or defined inconsistently across rows, no amount of surrounding richness rescues the analysis, so it deserves its own line in your evaluation checklist.
The failure mode is concrete: the label appears in a listing, the delivered files tell a different story, and the gap surfaces mid-project when fixing it is most expensive.
You rarely have to take a vendor's word for it. 82.4% of the 1,744 datasets Datadory catalogs are free to access, and Open Food Facts - Open Database & API lets you inspect the real artifact before any budget is committed.
