Walking through a European supermarket can feel like navigating a sea of acronyms. From the colourful Nutri-Score logo on a cereal box to the prestigious red and yellow DOP seal on a block of cheese, these labels are designed to inform us. But what do they really mean? At EU Product Score, we believe that understanding these labels is the first step toward making smarter, more conscious purchasing decisions.

This guide will demystify the most common food labels you'll encounter, explaining how they work, what they guarantee, and how they relate to our own European Score.

It is 19:06 and your kitchen is doing that small, familiar negotiation: you want dinner to feel like care, but you do not want dinner to feel like work. So you reach for the upgrade that Europe taught the world to trust, the bottle that turns tomatoes into a meal and salad into a statement:

extra virgin olive oil.

The label promises sunlight, groves, tradition, and a country name that sounds like certainty. But in 2026, the biggest risk in your olive oil is not that it is fake. It is that it is old and you were never invited to know.
