CONFITURE EXTRA d'abricots 50% fruits - BIO - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

CONFITURE EXTRA d'abricots 50% fruits BIO from Intermarché's Paquito range achieves a European Score of 100, ranking above 89% of the 19 products in the confitures, gelées ou marmelades category. This 89th percentile standing places it firmly at the upper end of its segment.

The score breakdown shows maximum scores for headquarters and manufacturing at 35 points each, 15 for distribution, 5 for certifications, and 5 for proximity. The ingredients sub-score of 6 points reflects a more complex sourcing picture: the product carries an EU Non-EU Agriculture label, indicating that while some ingredients originate from within the EU, others are sourced from outside it. Certifications are supported by EU Organic status and independent verification from Ecocert, a well-regarded certification body.

For a European-minded shopper, this product demonstrates the strengths and the nuances of the European Score framework. The organic certification with Ecocert validation provides meaningful assurance about production standards and input quality. The 50% fruit content is a genuine quality indicator in the jam category. The partial non-EU agricultural origin of some ingredients is the primary factor moderating the ingredients sub-score. Nevertheless, with full marks across headquarters, manufacturing, distribution, and certifications, and an 89th percentile ranking in its category, this product represents one of the stronger choices available for consumers who value both organic credentials and European production proximity.
