This discussion is important!
Nutriscore is a proposed system to mark products as 'healthy' on a scale of 5 colour-coded values. It takes into account fat and salt and sugar (high amounts are 'unhealthy'), but not artificial sweeteners or other additives like preservatives or MSG.
I hate this. It will push sugar out of products, but, of course, artificial sweeteners will be put in instead. I've already seen artificially sweetened sweet-n-sour hering without any normal sugary alternative, because companies will of course try to produce few variants for efficiency. This is awful. I find the whole idea of condensing 'healthy' into a single small integer rather absurd as no amount of sugar or fat or salt or MSG is simply 'healthy' or 'unhealthy' on a scale of 1..5.
