Why there is no score: Partial read. This verdict is provisional. Only part of the catalogue could be read and the certifications listed have not been checked against the certifiers own registers, so the evidence does not yet support a settled verdict. No score is published. Ingredient lists were obtained for 9 of 14 products, 64 percent of the catalogue. A percentage drawn from part of a catalogue is not a figure for the range.
Catalogue 14 products, 9 with an ingredient list, 5 without.
Last checked 22 July 2026.
Not yet independently verified. The certifications listed for this brand are as the brand states them. They have not yet been checked against the certifiers own registers, so they should be read as a claim rather than a confirmed fact.

Coverage: Partial read: ingredient lists were published for 9 of 14 products, 64 percent of the catalogue. No average is shown, because a figure drawn from part of a catalogue is not the figure for the range.
