The problem is that broad bean flour was primarily chosen because it is cheap and overrated. The latter will be corrected in the next set of rules, so there is actually no more reason to add it to plain white toast. So either the companies find another loophole/wrongly rated ingredient, or the plain white will drop from A to C or D where it belongs as a highly processed and not exacly healthy food.
Nutriscore was never meant and never advertised as an absolute measure of healthiness. It was always meant to be used to compare products in the same category. I agree that toast should not have an A but it doesn’t mean that it is healthy, only that it is healthier than bread with a worse rating. I agree that the values in the formula should be updated so that toast has a lower rating than whole wheat bread but that doesn’t mean the Nutriscore is useless.
