Lait des campagnes du centre de la France - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour's Lait des Campagnes du Centre de la France achieves a perfect European Score of 100, placing it in the 64th percentile among the 75 products in the semi-skimmed milk UHT category — above the midpoint in a moderately sized field. The breakdown is complete for provenance: 35 points each for French headquarters and French manufacturing, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, and 5 for proximity. No third-party certification is held, so certifications contribute 0.

Manufacturing is identified at two sites in central France, one in the Creuse and one in the Puy-de-Dôme, both associated with the dairy-farming heartlands of the Massif Central. The product carries the French Milk and Harvested in France labels, as well as Made in France and the Garantie IPLC mark — an independent certification for the interprofessional livestock chain in central France that traces milk from farm to processor. The Green Dot and Calcium Source labels round out the portfolio.

For shoppers who value regional transparency, the Garantie IPLC label is a meaningful differentiator within UHT milk: it documents that the supply chain from cow to carton remains within a defined French geographic and professional framework. The 64th percentile result reflects that, while provenance is entirely French and verifiable, the absence of organic or quality certification places this product behind those that carry additional independent standards. It remains a clear and well-labelled domestic choice.
