GRAMONT Scoring Suite
Calculate Nutri-Score, Eco-Score, and / or UK Traffic Light directly in SAP PLM
The new GRAMONT Scoring Suite with Nutri-Score, UK Traffic Light nutritional scheme, and Eco-Score are now available directly within SAP PLM.
Product developers can easily visualize Nutri-Score and/or UK Traffic Light information for products during the development process and iteratively adjust the nutrients for an optimal front-of-pack labelling. Recipe formulas can be adapted on the fly with integrated calculations showing detailed ingredients, nutrients and thresholds information.
The calculations for the scoring systems are implemented in SAP PLM Specification, Recipe and LabelNow Cloud Solution. The available scoring systems are easily adjustable to regulation changes thanks to the use of a generic framework. They can also be easily extended to additional nutritional or environment schemes. The Scoring Suite serves as a guideline and support for companies that aim to improve their scores and address growing consumer demands for transparency.

Nutri-Score
The Nutri-Score is an easily understandable front-of-pack nutritional rating system for food and beverages introduced by the European Union. It is officially recommended by the World Health Organization and health authorities in France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Spain.
The code consists of 5 colors, each with its own letter (A to E) which enables the consumer to get an overview of the nutritional value of the product. In addition, it allows a quick nutritionally meaningful comparison of foods within a product group, as a food with a green A rating is more likely to contribute to a healthy diet than a product with a red E.
Nutri-Score calculation is based on information companies already use for the creation of nutritional value tables and ingredient lists of their products. Nutri-Score itself is based on comprehensive, transparent, independent scientific approach developed following a large concertation with a large number of stakeholders (industry, retailers, consumers, scientists).
UK Traffic Light nutritional rating system
The Traffic Light is an informative nutritional rating system developed by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) placed on pre-packaged food and drinks used mainly in the UK and Ireland.
The color coding gives the consumer a quick overview of the nutritional information and helps them to make a healthy choice by comparing products quickly. The Traffic Light gives the amount of energy per serving and shows whether a product is high (red), medium (amber) or low (green) in fat, saturated fat, sugars and salt. Nutrients with “green” indicators are healthier and to be preferred over those with “red” indicators. Additionally, it provides information about the reference intakes per serving.
Eco-Score
The Eco-Score rates the environmental impact of a product from the production to the consumption. The Classification of products are color coded according to their impact on the environment: from a green A (low) to a red E (high). Depending on environmental impact a score of up to 100 is given.
The scoring is evaluated on two components: The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based on the French database Agribalyse with information on the impact of production, transport, manufacturing, packaging of food on the environment. Additional quality criteria, such as recyclability, and origin of ingredients (regionality and seasonality) are also considered.
