Scores use the government's 2018 nutrient profiling model, calculated per 100g from the nutrition panels and ingredients on Tesco own-brand listings. Easy Oats sachets are labelled for the sachet made up with semi-skimmed milk and the Instant Oats pot for the pot made up with water; Boone has converted them to the dry contents so they compare fairly. Points are added for energy, saturated fat, free sugars and salt, and taken away for fibre, protein, and fruit, vegetable, nut and seed content. Foods scoring 4 or more are classed as less healthy.
Fruit, nut and seed content is taken from the percentages declared in each ingredients list, so cereals that do not declare them score zero for it. The model scores what a cereal is made of rather than how much you eat.
