GAIL’s, the least healthy first

196 GAIL’s UK items, scored with the UK Nutrient Profiling Model 2018. Lower is healthier. Food scoring 4 or more, and drinks scoring 1 or more, count as less healthy. GAIL’s does not publish portion weights for most of these items, so the scores use weights estimated by Boone.

Healthier per 100g is not the same as lighter

The model judges what the food is made of, 100g at a time. It does not count how much is on the plate. For calories by portion, use the lowest calorie ranking.

How this ranking works

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.
