It aims to provide information on the <strong>the nutritional balance of dishes<\/strong>, snacks\/desserts, and menus served in collective catering. It primarily targets <strong>consumers<\/strong> frequenting company restaurants, university cafeterias, homes, or medical-social institutions <strong>, as well as the parents of children<\/strong> eating in school canteens and daycare centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Health-score, included in the Beelong calculator, provides the advantage of offering <strong>synthetic overview of the nutritional balance <\/strong>of a dish or menu in the form of scores. To do so, the tool calculates the scores based on the ingredients and their quantities, considering the latest recommendations from nutrition experts and weighting the results. This methodology makes it a reference tool for daily choices, <strong>both for the general public and for professionals <\/strong>in collective catering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Three types of scores<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Health-score provides three types of scores, calculated based on the ingredients and their quantity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The \"dish\" score<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On a scale from A+ to E-, the \"dish\" score provides information on the nutritional balance of the plate, taking into account the nutritional needs by age group. It is based on the ingredients, the portion sizes recommended by <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sge-ssn.ch\/fr\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sge-ssn.ch\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\">Swiss Society of Nutrition (SSN)<\/a> and Fourchette verte, as well as the nutritional requirements according to the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blv.admin.ch\/blv\/fr\/home\/lebensmittel-und-ernaehrung\/ernaehrung\/empfehlungen-informationen\/naehrstoffe\/hauptnaehrstoffe.html\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.blv.admin.ch\/blv\/fr\/home\/lebensmittel-und-ernaehrung\/ernaehrung\/empfehlungen-informationen\/naehrstoffe\/hauptnaehrstoffe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO).<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The \"snack\/dessert\" score<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On a scale from A to E, the \"snack\/dessert\" score is based on three indicators: the ingredients, the content of free sugars, and the content of saturated fatty acids. The result is obtained through a weighted average of the three indicators. The better the snack\/dessert contains the following ingredients, the higher its score: fruits and vegetables, yogurt, dairy products and milk, unsalted nuts and seeds, legumes, eggs, whole grain bread, and whole grains. The more the snack\/dessert contains the following elements, the lower its score: free sugars, saturated fatty acids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The \"menu\" score.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On a scale from A+ to E-, the \"menu\" score applies to menus consisting of a dish and a dessert. It is a weighted average of the \"dish\" score and the \"snack\/dessert\" score based on the quantity of ingredients, with a coefficient of 2 for the amount of dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the differences with the Nutri-score?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blv.admin.ch\/blv\/fr\/home\/lebensmittel-und-ernaehrung\/ernaehrung\/nutri-score.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nutri-score<\/a> only evaluates food products, not dishes or menus. On a scale from A to E, it allows for comparisons between similar products within the same category and not across different categories (e.g., multiple pizzas, multiple yogurts, etc.). The Nutri-score is not a nutritional recommendation nor a substitute for the food pyramid. Lastly, it is visible on food product packaging, mainly from producers and retailers, and not in collective catering for dishes and menus like the Health-score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Beelong Team<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le calculateur Beelong, notre application en ligne pour les cuisiniers, donne \u00e0 la fois l\u2019impact environnemental (ECO-SCORE\u00ae by Beelong) et l\u2019\u00e9quilibre nutritionnel (Health-score)&hellip;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":3055,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,36,20],"tags":[26,27],"class_list":["post-2990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-actualites","category-data","category-labels","tag-beelong","tag-calculateur-menu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2990"}],"version-history":[{"count":27,"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2990\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3057,"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2990\/revisions\/3057"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beelong.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
