European Score analysis

The European Score of 90 for Birchwood's Black Pudding is primarily driven by the company's headquarters and manufacturing processes, both of which achieve the maximum score of 35. This suggests that the company is based in Europe and the product is manufactured within the region, contributing significantly to its overall score. The distribution of the product also contributes, albeit to a lesser extent, with a score of 15. However, the product's ingredients and certifications do not contribute to the score, with both receiving a score of 0, while proximity to the point of sale adds a minimal 5 points.

The score breakdown indicates that while the company's location and manufacturing processes are major strengths, the product's ingredients and certifications are areas for improvement. This information can be useful for shoppers looking to support European businesses and manufacturing, but who may also be interested in products with more transparent or locally sourced ingredients.

With a percentile in category of 61 out of 133 products, Birchwood's Black Pudding performs reasonably well within its category. However, shoppers seeking higher scoring alternatives may consider products such as Boudins blancs à l'ancienne à la crème d'Isigny AOP or Boudin Blanc de Rethel, which achieve scores of 98, significantly higher than the 90 achieved by Birchwood's Black Pudding.
