Emphasis on clear labeling of warnings on non-vegetarian products

A study suggests that vegetarian alternatives to meat, cheese, eggs and yogurt should be clearly labeled with ultra-processed information to ensure public awareness.

Although the researchers caution that the nutritional values ​​of different plant foods may vary, this alternative can be an effective step toward a healthier and more sustainable diet.

Regarding the evidence for vegetarian alternatives, the researchers said that these products generally have a lower environmental impact than animal products and may be healthier and more nutrient dense.

However, the nutritional composition of these foods is complex.

The research found that processing technique and brand, along with the primary ingredients, were important in determining the nutritional values ​​and environmental impact of all these commodities.

Ultra-processed foods are usually high in fat, sugar, and salt, and contain chemicals, artificial colors, sweeteners, and additives to extend the shelf life of these foods.
