Noisettes grillées sans sel ajoutés - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Daco Bello's Noisettes Grillées Sans Sel Ajoutés achieves a perfect European Score of 100 and ranks in the 90th percentile among the 40 products in the roasted hazelnuts category — placing it among the top performers in a moderately sized field. The breakdown awards the full 35 points each for French headquarters and manufacturing, with ingredients contributing 10, distribution 15, proximity 5, and certifications 0. No organic or equivalent third-party certification is held.

The sole label is Packaged in France, confirming that at minimum the conditioning step takes place domestically. No separate ingredient origin is declared beyond this packaging claim, and no raw material sourcing region is specified in the available data. This is relevant because hazelnuts in the European market are predominantly sourced from non-European origins, though the scoring framework does not require ingredient-level origin declaration to award maximum points where overall provenance criteria are met.

For a European-minded shopper, the score of 100 with a French company and French packaging operation is a clear signal of European commercial anchoring. The absence of an organic certification and the limited ingredient origin disclosure mean that shoppers seeking full supply chain transparency beyond the processing stage will not find additional verification here. The 90th percentile result in a field of 40 products is nonetheless strong, reflecting that many competitors in the roasted hazelnuts category achieve lower provenance scores — possibly due to non-European company bases or processing locations. The product's frank declaration of its packaging location, without overstating its supply chain, is itself a form of transparency.
