          Abstract

          Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es resumir de manera objetiva el informe del Comité Científico Europeo que acaba de actualizar el algoritmo en el que se basa el logotipo nutricional Nutri-Score. Se revisa la metodología utilizada, las prioridades establecidas y sus justificaciones, y los diferentes escenarios probados, las modificaciones propuestas y su impacto en los diferentes grupos de alimentos afectados. El Comité Científico consideró que el algoritmo actual funciona en general bien, pero ha introducido algunas mejoras. Las modificaciones recomendadas por el Comité permiten corregir algunas limitaciones identificadas: clasificación de los aceites, pescados grasos, productos integrales, frutos secos y quesos, así como la penalización superior de los alimentos muy azucarados o muy salados, productos lácteos azucarados, platos preparados y carnes rojas, entre otros, manteniendo al mismo tiempo la coherencia global del sistema y la clasificación general de los productos entre ellos. Con la actualización del algoritmo de Nutri-Score se observa globalmente una mejor alineación entre las clasificaciones obtenidas por Nutri-Score y las recomendaciones dietéticas en vigor en los diferentes países europeos que lo han adoptado.

          Abstract The aim of this article is to objectively summarize the report of the European Scientific Committee in charge of updating the algorithm underlying the front-of-pack Nutritional label Nutri-Score. It described the methodology used and the priorities established, the scientific rational and the different scenarios tested, the proposed modifications and their impact on the different food groups concerned. The Scientific Committee considered that its current algorithm works globally well, but has introduced some improvements. Modifications recommended allow to correct some of its identified limits: classification of oils, fatty fish, whole grain products, nuts, cheeses, higher penalization of very sugary or very salty foods, sweet dairy products, composite products, red meat... while maintaining the overall consistency of the system and the classification of the products. The update of the Nutri-Score algorithm permits a better alignment between the Nutri-Score classifications and Nutritional recommendations disseminated in the different European countries that have adopted it.

          Validating a nutrient profile model.

          To assess the validity of nutrient profiling Model WXYfm - developed for the purpose of regulating the promotion of 'less healthy' foods to children. The model ranks foods according to their healthiness and categorises foods into 'healthier' and 'less healthy' foods. Convergent and discriminant validity was tested by comparing the way Model WXYfm categorises foods with the way the UK's national food guide - the Balance of Good Health (BGH) - categorises foods. Construct validity was assessed by testing a hypothesis relating the constructs of 'healthiness' of foods (as measured by Model WXYfm) and the 'healthiness' of diets (measured using the Diet Quality Index) and assessing whether this hypothesis was confirmed or refuted by using data on the dietary patterns of subjects (n = 1117) of the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of adults carried out in Great Britain in 2000-01. Model WXYfm showed good convergent and discriminant validity: the level of agreement between the way the model categorises foods and the way the BGH categorises foods was good (kappa = 0.69). Model WXYfm also showed good construct validity: the energy intake from 'less healthy' foods amongst subjects with the least healthy diets was nearly twice the energy intake from 'less healthy' foods amongst the subjects with the healthiest diets. Model WXYfm demonstrated good validity in categorising foods in a way that is related to the healthiness of diets both recommended and achieved. The methods for assessing the validity of a nutrient profile model used in this paper have not, to our knowledge, been used before.
