Recently found organic beef has a nutri-score of B, but the same meat, pressed as a patty with salt and pepper gets a nutri-score of D, I wouldn't give too much about the score now xD


Adding (too much) salt is going to reduce the rating, this is intentional.


Wouldn't the patty also be ground up with all the fat, while the raw unprocessed beef could have visible fat trimmed and not consumed? Maybe that accounts for the difference.


That’s probably due to the extra sodium from the salt and preservatives they add.
