Each item is scored with the UK Nutrient Profiling Model 2018 (DHSC technical guidance), using GAIL’s’s published figures and portion weights. Where GAIL’s does not publish a portion weight, Boone estimates it from the median energy per gram of similar items and labels it as estimated. That applies to 60% of the items here, so treat these scores as estimates: the energy points in particular depend on the estimated weight.
GAIL’s does not publish fruit, vegetable or nut content, so those points count as 0, which can understate items with salad. Ties are shown as joint and listed by calories.
