What does the score mean?+
It is the UK Nutrient Profiling Model 2018, which scores food and drink per 100g from −15 to 40. Lower is healthier. It judges what the food is made of, not the portion size.
Each item is scored with the UK Nutrient Profiling Model 2018 (DHSC technical guidance), using Wingstop’s published figures and portion weights. Where Wingstop does not publish a portion weight, Boone estimates it from the median energy per gram of similar items and labels it as estimated.
Wingstop does not publish fruit, vegetable or nut content, so those points count as 0, which can understate items with salad. 8 items, such as meals, sharers and dips, are not scored because the model scores single products. Ties are shown as joint and listed by calories.
