This summer, an application specializing in food evaluation analyzed and listed the plain and chocolate cakes that are the least harmful to the body and the environment.
Since 2017, the Yuka app has decoded our everyday product labels. Last August, the platform launched a new feature listing the best products by food category. While you must have a Premium subscription or share the app with your contacts to access all ratings, spreads, regular cookies, and chocolate chip cookies are visible to all users. To achieve this ranking, twenty links from each food category were evaluated according to the app’s algorithm according to three criteria: their NutriScore (60% points), the presence of additives in their composition (30% points) and their organic dimensions. , in other words, products labeled with the official organic label (10% points). And each of the products was given a score out of 100. A review of generic and chocolate chip cookies that rose to the top of the rankings.
