How do the nutrition indicators work in Mira?

To show a product's nutritional profile at a glance, Mira displays a separate indicator for each key nutrient on the product card:

• calories

• saturated fat

• sugar

• salt

• protein

• fibre

• fruit and vegetable content

These indicators aren't the overall rating itself — they break it down, so you can immediately see which nutrient is pulling the score up or down.

How to read the indicators

Each nutrient gets its own coloured band — 'Excellent', 'Good', 'Poor' or 'Bad'. What a colour means depends on the type of nutrient:

• Nutrients worth limiting (calories, saturated fat, sugar, salt): green bands mean a moderate amount, while orange and red mean the product is too high in calories, fat, sugar or salt.

• Beneficial nutrients (protein, fibre, fruit and vegetable content): here it's the other way around — green bands mean a good amount, and warmer colours mean there's little of it.

What the thresholds are based on

Mira assesses each nutrient per 100 g or 100 ml, so different products can be compared fairly. The boundaries between bands follow Nutri-Score principles, adapted to the product type: for drinks, for example, the scale for sugar and calories is stricter than for solid food, because liquids are absorbed faster and have a stronger effect on blood sugar.

The rating is Mira's opinion. The words 'Excellent', 'Good', 'Poor' and 'Bad' refer to the rating, not to the product itself.
