Noisettes décortiquées - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Carrefour's shelled hazelnuts score a perfect 100 and rank at the 63rd percentile among 43 products in the unsalted hazelnuts category. The breakdown awards 35 points each for French headquarters and manufacturing in France, with 15 for distribution and 5 for proximity. Ingredients score 10 points, though no specific origin data is provided for the hazelnuts themselves. No certifications or labels are listed.

The absence of origin information for the core ingredient is a notable gap in transparency, as hazelnuts in European retail are commonly sourced from Turkey, Italy, or other producing regions. Without this detail, it is not possible to assess the provenance of the nuts themselves beyond the French manufacturing and distribution footprint. The overall score reflects the structural characteristics of a French-headquartered retailer producing and distributing within France. For consumers seeking hazelnuts with clearly documented nut origins, additional label information beyond the packaging score would be valuable. Nevertheless, within the scoring framework, this product performs solidly and sits above the majority of competitors in its category on the metrics assessed.
