Article Synopsis
- Many consumers are increasingly choosing foods labeled as 'natural' or 'organic' for healthier choices, but research supporting these claims is lacking.
- An analysis of 4,002 packaged foods sold in Greece found that most popular claims included 'free from' and 'natural/pure,' with only limited significant nutritional advantages for the 'natural/organic' products compared to conventional ones.
- The study concluded that while some natural/organic foods like prepared meals and yogurts had better nutritional profiles, many others, such as jams and breakfast cereals, did not show consistent benefits, indicating that health claims on labels may not always imply superior nutrition.
