Vache à boire à la myrtille - European Score 100/100

European Score analysis

Michel & Augustin's Vache à boire à la myrtille is a blueberry-flavoured yogurt drink with added sugar, achieving a perfect European Score of 100. The breakdown awards 35 points each for the French company headquarters and manufacturing, 10 for ingredients, 15 for distribution, and 5 for proximity. The certifications sub-score is 0, as the sole label — Concocté en France — does not qualify under the certifications dimension.

Manufacturing is confirmed at La Fermière, a subsidiary of the Tarpinian Group, located in Aubagne, Bouches-du-Rhône, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. The Concocté en France label affirms French production, consistent with the manufacturing data. No ingredient origins are specified beyond the manufacturing location.

Within the flavoured yogurt drinks with sugar category, the product ranks at the 39th percentile across 33 products assessed, meaning it scores higher than 39% of comparable products. This below-median result suggests that a majority of products in this category achieve stronger overall European Scores. For a European-minded shopper, the perfect score nonetheless confirms entirely French production by a recognised French brand, manufactured through an established dairy facility in southern France. The absence of certifications and limited ingredient origin data are the main gaps for those seeking additional independent verification of sourcing or agricultural practice.
