Emmental Français Râpé (29 % MG) - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Monoprix's Emmental Français Râpé achieves a perfect European Score of 100 and sits at the 54th percentile among the 76 products in the grated emmentaler category — at the midpoint of a well-populated field. The breakdown awards the full 35 points each for French company headquarters and French manufacturing, with 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, and 5 for proximity. Certifications contribute 0, as no organic or PDO-equivalent label is held.

Manufacturing is attributed to Entremont Alliance, a subsidiary of Sodiaal International, located in the Haute-Marne department within Champagne-Ardenne. Origins are confirmed as French. The label set includes a Carbon Footprint indicator alongside the Green Dot and Eco Emballages marks, suggesting the brand has begun to measure and communicate the greenhouse gas impact of the product — a relatively uncommon disclosure at this level of retail.

For a European-minded shopper, the score of 100 with fully French provenance and manufacturing is a strong baseline. The absence of any quality certification means the product relies on declared ingredient origin and manufacturing transparency rather than third-party verification of production standards. In a category of 76 products where the score distribution is clearly competitive, the 54th percentile result reflects that French provenance alone is table stakes in grated emmentaler, and certifications become the differentiator for those seeking additional assurance. The Carbon Footprint label is a notable voluntary disclosure, however, offering shoppers environmental data beyond the provenance story.
