Lait entier bio - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour Bio's organic whole-milk UHT achieves a European Score of 100, with a breakdown of 35 for company headquarters, 35 for manufacturing, 15 for distribution, 10 for ingredients, 5 for proximity, and zero for certifications. Despite the organic nature of the product, no organic certification label is recorded in the fact sheet, which accounts for the absence of any certification contribution. French ingredient origins are confirmed, and two specific manufacturing locations are named — the Laiterie de Saint Denis de l'Hôtel in Loiret and its affiliate in Val Fouzon, Indre — providing detailed and traceable production geography within the Centre-Val de Loire region of France.

Within the whole milk UHT category, this product ranks at the 58th percentile among 55 references, matching the mid-range performance of other French organic UHT milks in this competitive domestic category.

For the European-minded shopper, the unusually specific manufacturing information — naming two production facilities in the Loire Valley — is a notable transparency feature that goes well beyond typical supermarket own-label disclosure. The confirmed French milk origins and domestic manufacturing chain fully justify the score of 100. The absence of a recorded organic certification label, despite the product being sold under a bio sub-brand, is an anomaly that may reflect incomplete data rather than a lack of certification. As presented, the product achieves full European provenance marks through its company headquarters, production geography, and ingredient origins alone.
