OECD has released a report Healthy Eating and Active Lifestyles : Best Practices in Public Health (Éditions OCDE, Paris), https://doi.org/10.1787/40f65568-en.
Chapter 3 covers the case study of Nutri-Score (https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/3664921e-en/index.html?itemId=/content/component/3664921e-en).
The case study includes an assessment of Nutri-Score against the five best practice criteria, policy options to enhance performance and an assessment of its transferability to other OECD and EU27 countries.

The spreadsheet to calculate the updated version of the Nutri-Score validated by the 7 countries that adopted it (🇫🇷 🇧🇪 🇩🇪 🇧🇴 🇱🇺 🇳🇱 🇨🇭) and the updated FAQ with the calculation methods of the new algorithm are available on the website of the French Public Health Agency (Santé Publique France).
