A study conducted by doctoral student Laura Marchese and Senior Research Fellow Katherine Livingstone at Deakin University’s Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition examined over 700 plant-based foods sold in Australian supermarkets. The research revealed that some plant-based products contained high levels of salt or saturated fat. This highlights the fact that consumers may face challenges in making healthy choices and calls into question the labeling of products as “healthy.” The study emphasizes the need to guide consumers in understanding the contents of plant-based foods and making informed choices.
