Sirop de citron - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

This organic lemon syrup from Bio Village, sold under the Marque Repère umbrella, earns a perfect European Score of 100 and ranks at the 87th percentile within the lemon syrups category of 47 products — meaning it outperforms 87% of its peers. The breakdown awards 35 points for a French company headquarters and 35 for French manufacturing, with distribution contributing 15, certifications 5, ingredients 6, and the proximity bonus 5. The ingredients score of 6 reflects that origins span both European Union and non-European Union sources, with sugar specifically noted as coming from France.

The product carries organic, EU organic, and AB Agriculture Biologique certifications, which explain the full certification allocation and signal independent verification of farming practices throughout the supply chain. A Nutriscore grade E is also recorded, which relates to nutritional profile rather than provenance. For a European-minded shopper, the high headquarters and manufacturing scores confirm that production and commercial control remain firmly within France, while the organic certifications add a layer of independently audited agricultural standards. The mixed ingredient origins mean that not all inputs are European, but the partial domestic sourcing of sugar demonstrates a meaningful commitment to local supply where possible. The 87th percentile ranking makes this one of the more European-oriented lemon syrups on the market.
