Emmental bloc - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour's Emmental Bloc scores a perfect 100, combining organic certification with a European production profile that spans French retail and German manufacturing. Company headquarters contributes 35 points, manufacturing 35, ingredients 10, certifications 5, and proximity 5, while distribution contributes 10 — a slight reduction compared to many peers, reflecting the product's broader distribution across France, Morocco, and Spain. The product is manufactured in Germany and carries EU Organic, EU Agriculture, certified organic, green dot, and Made in Germany labels, confirming compliance with European organic standards and German production origin. Origins are stated as the European Union. Within the emmentaler category, it ranks at the 59th percentile, outperforming 59% of the 153 products assessed — a solidly above-average result in the largest category in this batch. For a European-minded shopper, the organic certification and EU-based manufacturing provide meaningful assurances about both production standards and ingredient provenance. The reduced distribution sub-score reflects the product's availability beyond the EU, which modestly affects its score but does not undermine its core European credentials. The combination of a French headquarters, German manufacturing, and EU-certified organic status makes this a well-rounded and traceable product for shoppers seeking European organic dairy.
