Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that gluten-free products (GFPs) generally have lower nutritional quality than non-gluten-free products (non-GFPs), but there are exceptions depending on the type of food.* -
- The study analyzed nutritional profiles and prices sourced from Spanish supermarkets, revealing that while GFPs can be more expensive (up to 391.5% higher), their price does not consistently correlate with improved nutritional quality.* -
- The Nutri-Score system could help consumers identify healthier options and encourage manufacturers to enhance the nutritional quality of GFPs, which should still be consumed sparingly in a balanced diet.*
