Comparison of saturated fat content on product labels with measured values.

n.d.: no data; *: total fat < 20 g / 100 g; product codes A-G denote plant-based meat substitutes, H-L denote beef-based products.

Data are expressed as median (min, max) for measured total fat content (n = 3) and as median (min-max) for calculated saturated fat content (n = 12).

The deviation between the declared and measured values was calculated based on the declared and median values of the measured saturated fat content.
