des gouda - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Franprix's Des Gouda scores a perfect 100, with a breakdown reflecting a product manufactured in the Netherlands and distributed through a French retail network. Company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35 points, distribution 15, and proximity 5, with a full ingredients sub-score of 10. No certifications are recorded. Manufacturing is confirmed in the Netherlands. Labels include Nutriscore with a grade D — a nutritional indicator that shoppers watching fat or salt intake may wish to consider — and Triman, indicating participation in a French packaging sorting scheme. No ingredient origins are further specified. Within the goudas with cumin category, the product ranks at the 33rd percentile, outperforming 33% of the 12 products assessed — a below-median result in a small category. For a European-minded shopper, this product presents a clean European supply chain: Dutch manufacturing, a French company headquarters, and domestic French distribution. The absence of any quality or geographical certification limits its score in that component, and the Nutriscore D may give pause to health-conscious consumers. The lower percentile rank within its small category reflects the absence of certifications or protected designations that competitors may hold. Nevertheless, the product's core manufacturing and distribution credentials are fully European, and it meets the foundational requirements of the scoring framework without additional qualification.
