Sucre cristal - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Béghin-Say's Sucre Cristal, produced under the Tereos group, achieves a perfect European Score of 100, placing it in the 75th percentile among the 57 granulated sugars assessed. The breakdown is fully maximised across the principal dimensions: company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35 points, distribution adds 15, and proximity contributes 5. Certifications score 0, reflecting the absence of organic or equivalent third-party environmental accreditation. The product carries Grown in France and Made in France labels, both of which are reinforced by the declared French origins and confirmed French manufacturing location. The ingredients sub-score of 10 is the maximum available for that dimension. For a European-minded shopper, this score communicates a compact and transparent domestic supply chain. The sugar beet, which is the source crop for this product, is grown in France, processed in France, and sold by a French-headquartered agricultural cooperative group. The absence of certification points reflects a conventional production model without additional environmental accreditation, which is typical for mainstream beet sugar. At the 75th percentile, this product outperforms three-quarters of assessed granulated sugars, representing a strong performer within its category. For shoppers who prioritise European and specifically French agricultural provenance in basic pantry staples, Béghin-Say Sucre Cristal offers a well-documented and traceable domestic product.
