European Score analysis

Basilico, a product from Barilla, has a European score of 90. This score is comprised of several factors, including company headquarters, manufacturing, ingredients, distribution, certifications, and proximity. The breakdown reveals that the company headquarters and manufacturing each contribute 35 to the score, while distribution contributes 15 and proximity contributes 5. However, the ingredients and certifications components do not contribute to the score, with each having a value of 0.

The European score of 90 indicates that Basilico performs well in certain aspects, such as company headquarters and manufacturing, which are both maximised at 35. However, the lack of contribution from ingredients and certifications suggests that there may be room for improvement in these areas. As a shopper, it is worth noting that Basilico ranks in the 48th percentile within its category of tomato sauces with basil, with 40 products in this category.

Shoppers may also want to consider higher-scoring alternatives, such as Sauce tomate basilic, Sauce tomate Basilic Jardin BIO, Sauce tomate au basilic, and Arrabiata Bio, each with a score of 95. These alternatives may offer stronger performances in areas such as ingredients and certifications, which could be important considerations for some shoppers. Ultimately, the European score of 90 provides a nuanced view of Basilico's strengths and weaknesses, allowing shoppers to make informed decisions about their purchases.
