IQR, Inter Quartile Range.

a,b,cGroups with different superscript differ in Kruskal–Wallis pairwise comparison (P <0⋅05).

*

Kruskal–Wallis test for differences between three groups of comparison (categories: cheese and milks (unflavoured drinks)); Mann–Whitney U test for differences between two groups of comparison (categories: creams/crème fraiche, flavoured drinks/iced coffees, ice creams, yoghurts).
