Values per 100 g. Sourced: CIQUAL 2025 · record 10018; figures taken from the table, not checked food by food. General information; it does not replace medical or dietary advice.

Source : ANSES, table Ciqual 2025 (mise à jour du 19/11/2025), record 10018, published by ANSES as « Poulpe, cru ». DOI : 10.57745/RDMHWY. Data made available under the Open Licence 2.0. ANSES does not endorse or review Radish. Method and sources.

Where these figures come from

The Ciqual table is published by ANSES and describes the French food supply: it pools laboratory analyses, manufacturer submissions and recipe calculations. Radish copies record 10018, published by ANSES as “Poulpe, cru”, as it stands; it does not recompute it.

For fish, season, wild or farmed origin and condition at catch move the fat content widely across the year. Canned versions add their packing liquid, which counts towards the 100 g on the scale.

Of the 17 lines above, 16 carry a number. A cell without a number is not a zero: the source does not publish the amount, or it falls below the measurement threshold.

On 1 line, the source publishes a threshold marker rather than a number: sugars “traces”. One convention applies here and only one: that marker is reproduced word for word in the nutrient’s cell, and no number is invented in its place.

Nutri-Score: how the letter is obtained

Octopus is scored on the scale for general solid foods, one of the three used by the revised algorithm (Nutri-Score scientific committee, 2022–2023; adopted in France by the order of 14 March 2025), applied to the figures shown above.

Unfavourable points (3)

Favourable points (5)

3 − 5 = -2 points, class A. The heaviest single item here is sodium, at 3 of the 3 unfavourable points. The letter applies to this table record, not to a branded product.

Nutri-Score® is a registered collective trademark of Santé publique France. Radish is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by Santé publique France: this letter is recomputed by Radish from the table record. During the transition period provided for by the regulations, a package may still carry a letter from the previous algorithm, and therefore a different one.

Where this record sits among fish & seafood

Radish holds 1313 fish & seafood sourced from an institutional table; this record is the 25th energy value in ascending order out of 1313. Of the 1322 fish & seafood in the database, 1313 come from an institutional table and are the only ones counted in these medians. Per 100 g:

Careful with these medians: they pool raw and cooked fish & seafood in one set, and cooking alone moves a per-100 g figure. This position and these medians describe the Radish database, not the quality of a food: they say neither that it should be eaten nor that it should be avoided.
