Danette Saveur Vanille - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Danette Saveur Vanille by Danone is a vanilla-flavoured dairy dessert manufactured in Saint-Just-Chaleyssin, Isère, in the Rhône-Alpes region of France. It carries Green Dot and Eco Emballages labels, and achieves a European Score of 100, placing it above 66% of products in the vanilla dairy desserts category, which contains 41 products.

The score breakdown reflects a product whose European credentials rest on structural supply chain factors. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35, confirming European corporate ownership through Danone's French headquarters and confirmed French production. Distribution adds 15, ingredients 10, and proximity 5. Certifications score 0, as no organic or protected-designation labels are recorded. The packaging-related labels do not contribute to the European Score.

For a European-minded shopper, the key information is the specific and traceable manufacturing location in Isère, which adds a layer of geographical precision not always available for mass-market chilled desserts. The Green Dot and Eco Emballages designations relate to packaging recovery schemes rather than product provenance or organic status. Danone's French corporate identity means the full company headquarters score is available to this product. The 66th percentile ranking in a category of 41 products places Danette Saveur Vanille above the majority of its competitors on European provenance criteria, reflecting a solid if unexceptional European profile. The absence of certification labels is the main factor preventing a higher relative standing in this category.
