Raclette - European Score 98/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour's Raclette achieves a European Score of 100, the highest possible rating, placing it in the 53rd percentile within the raclette category — meaning it outperforms just over half of the 87 products assessed in that segment. This is a strong result, particularly for a supermarket own-label product, and reflects a supply chain firmly anchored within Europe.

The score is built on solid structural foundations. The company headquarters contribution of 35 and the manufacturing score of 35 indicate that both the corporate entity and the production facilities are based within Europe, specifically in France according to the listed countries. The ingredients score of 10 and distribution score of 15 further reinforce a locally integrated supply model. The proximity score of 5 adds a modest but meaningful recognition of geographical closeness. The certifications component contributes nothing to the total, which suggests no recognised third-party schemes such as organic or protected designation labels are in place.

For a European-minded shopper, this product represents a reassuring choice: the cheese is produced in France and sold under a major French retailer's brand, keeping economic value and supply chain accountability within the continent. The absence of certification points is worth noting for shoppers prioritising independently verified standards, but the overall score signals that the fundamental geography of this product's journey from farm to shelf is strongly European.
