The Claim
Approximately 67% of plant-based foods analyzed in U.S. dietary surveys were classified as nutritionally favorable (Nutri-Score grades A or B) by the Nutri-Score system.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In U.S. dietary surveys, about two-thirds of plant-based foods received the top two Nutri-Score ratings, indicating they are classified as nutritionally favorable.
See the scientific wording
Approximately 67% of plant-based foods analyzed in U.S. dietary surveys received the highest Nutri-Score grades (A or B), suggesting that most plant-based foods, as consumed in the U.S., are classified as nutritionally favorable by the Nutri-Score system.
Plant-based foods contain high levels of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and low levels of sugar, saturated fat, and sodium. These characteristics cause the Nutri-Score algorithm to assign them the highest health ratings.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Using machine learning models to predict the quality of plant-based foods
The study found that about two-thirds of plant-based foods eaten in the U.S. got the top health ratings (A or B) from the Nutri-Score system, which is exactly what the claim says.
