Mostly kartoffelpüree, sonnenblumenöl and weizenmehl.
A percentage with ≤ in front of it is a ceiling, not a measurement: the most that can be in the pack, given what the label declares and the order the list runs in. A plain percentage is one the label states outright.

- Protein was not countedThe 2023 algorithm drops the protein credit once negative points reach 11, so a high-sugar or high-fat food cannot buy the points back with protein.
- Nutri-Score points13 negative − 1 positive = 12, which Open Food Facts grades D
Higher points in the first block mean a worse food; higher points in the second mean a better one. Open Food Facts computes them with the 2023 Nutri-Score algorithm, and the grade band is stretched onto 0–100 here so the letter and the number always agree.

Within its own category
Compared against sour cream & onion crisps made from reconstituted potato rather than against all food. A low absolute score on olive oil or nuts is a known Nutri-Score artefact; the useful question is how this compares to the other things on the same shelf.
