Camembert - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Camembert by Intermarché under the Les Mousquetaires FE P&C label, carrying French organic certifications including certified organic and AB Agriculture Biologique, achieves the maximum European Score of 100. The breakdown records 35 points for European company headquarters, 35 points for manufacturing, 10 points for ingredients, 15 points for distribution, 5 points for certifications, and 5 points for proximity. The organic and EU organic labels confirm certified production, though manufacturing and specific origin details are not disclosed in the available data.

Despite the top European Score, this product sits at the 9th percentile within the camemberts from microfiltered cow milk category, ranking above only 9% of the 22 assessed products. This low percentile in a small category indicates that most comparable products in this particular sub-category achieve similarly high or higher scores, placing this product towards the lower end of the distribution within an already high-scoring peer group.

For European-minded shoppers, the low percentile ranking is the most important contextual signal here: the 9th percentile does not reflect weak European credentials — the score itself is perfect — but rather that this specific sub-category of microfiltered milk camembert is dominated by products that also score very well. The certified organic labels (certified organic and AB Agriculture Biologique) represent a meaningful production standard. Shoppers who seek an organic camembert from a major French distributor with full European credentials should note the category context and consider the percentile ranking as a signal about relative standing amongst a small but competitive peer group.
