True North: 30%

Great Value is a private label brand owned by a United States-based multinational retailer. The True North score reflects a model where capital and strategic control are primarily foreign, while operations and inputs are mixed due to the use of domestic contract manufacturers for specific product categories. The economic retention is largely limited to regional supply chain employment and local logistics.

Green Score: 8/100

This product has a high environmental impact primarily due to its single-serve format, which generates significant multi-material waste (plastic, foil, and paper) that is difficult to separate and recycle. While the contents are a single-ingredient whole food, the lack of sustainability certifications and the high packaging-to-product weight ratio result in a poor environmental profile. The estimate of 340g accounts for both the individual pod components and the bulk outer cardboard housing.
