Edit the computation of NOVA for 100% natural products #7254

Closed manon-corneille closed 1 month ago

manon-corneille commented 2 years ago

Problem description

A producer is questioning the NOVA classification of his products : This product is 100% made from natural ingredients and assembled via a “pressing” process.

The category "Snacks" causes the fact that the product is classified in NOVA 3.

Desired solution

As there is no sugar or salt added, this product could be classified at NOVA 1 but code changes are required.

A hint of natural flavorings

manon-corneille commented 2 years ago

Thanks @teolemon I close the issue then. :)

manon-corneille commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I'm reopening this issue because we have 2 other example where the product is classified as NOVA 3 only because its category is "Snacks" whereas it's made of 100% natural ingredients, and doesn't contain any hint of natural flavouring or natural aroma :

Could you do something for these specific cases please? :)

alexgarel commented 1 year ago

We can't see the product @manon-corneille if you don't give the org

manon-corneille commented 1 year ago

Oups, just seeing your comment now @alexgarel → org-lotus-bakeries :-)

For first product, if we remove category "snack sucré" nova grade switches to 1. A hint of flavouring, was not in ingredients list, I added it but it is unknown ingredient. Flavouring alone would make nova grade 4....

fabi003 commented 2 months ago

This product should be NOVA 1 instead of NOVA 4 due to its "100% natural ingredients". ;-) Hopefully nobody asks about ingredients such as the carrot concentrate...

Welcome to the reality of food industry!

stephanegigandet commented 2 months ago

No categories now trigger group 4, although a few trigger group 3.

"categories/en:sodas" => 3,
"categories/en:ice-creams" => 3,
"categories/en:chocolates" => 3,
"categories/en:candies" => 3,
"categories/en:sugary-snacks" => 3,
"categories/en:salty-snacks" => 3,
"categories/en:baby-milks" => 3,
"categories/en:sausages" => 3,
"categories/en:hard-liquors" => 3,

Closing this bug.
