Emmental Râpé Fondant - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour Classic's fondant grated Emmental achieves a perfect score of 100, ranking at the 54th percentile among 76 grated Emmentaler products — a median position that reflects how well-stocked this category is with French-manufactured cheeses. The score breakdown assigns 35 to headquarters, 35 to manufacturing, 15 to distribution, 10 to ingredients, and 5 to proximity, with certifications scoring 0. Manufacturing is attributed to two Lactalis subsidiaries in Loire-Atlantique and Mayenne, matching the production network for French Emmental. Milk origins are confirmed as France. The product carries several labels including Carrefour Quality, French Milk, Made in France, Vegetarian, and NutriScore, the last of which is a nutritional information tool rather than a provenance mark. The Distributor Labels designation indicates this is a retailer own-brand product. For a European-minded shopper, the profile is similar to other French-manufactured Emmentals in the category: entirely domestic milk, French processing facilities, and a French company, all of which deliver a maximum score. The certifications score of 0 reflects the absence of organic or PDO labels, which is standard for this type of cheese. The Made in France label provides an additional commercial signal of domestic origin, reinforcing what the score already communicates.
