What this work gives Aellic
The published Nutri-Score algorithm in its current version. The thresholds and the fruit and vegetable bonus of the Aellic Health Score follow this specification. Note that there are TWO documents — foods adopted on 2022-06-29, beverages on 2023-02-01 (beverage report: https://www.santepubliquefrance.fr/sites/default/files/rdd/document/Update%20report%20beverages_31%2001%202023-VOTED.pdf).
Correction of 25 July 2026
The NOVA-4 penalty does NOT belong to this source: a full-text search of both official reports finds neither “NOVA” nor “ultra-processed” even once. Nutri-Score has no penalty for degree of processing — that is Aellic's own addition and must not be attributed to this source.
The entry on the register was wrong. It was not replaced but kept, with what holds instead standing next to it.
