- ANDI scores measure nutrients per calorie, with 1000 being the highest.
- Foods high in water or low in vitamins/minerals may score lower, even if they’re healthy.
►Compare with typical ANDI scores of common ultra-processed foods
| Food | ANDI Score | What this means |
| Sugary breakfast cereal (e.g. frosted flakes) | 5-10 | High calories, added sugar, minimal micronutrients |
| White sliced bread | 10-15 | Refined starch, low fibre and minerals |
| Crisps / potato chips | 10 | Energy-dense, very low nutrient return |
| Chocolate bar (milk chocolate) | 15-20 | Some minerals, but overwhelmed by sugar & fat |
| Biscuits / cookies | 5-10 | Mostly refined flour, sugar, oils |
| Instant noodles | 5-10 | Calories + salt, almost no protective nutrients |
| Processed meat sausage | 10-15 | Some protein, but low micronutrient density |
| Frozen pepperoni pizza | 15-20 | Refined carbs, fat, salt; limited veg content |
| Sweetened fruit yoghurt | 15-25 | Better than sweets, but diluted by sugar |
| Sugary soft drink (cola) | 0-1 | Calories with virtually no nutrition |
