Distribution of scores per food group and NOVA Category. ■ NOVA 4 items ■ NOVA 3 items, ■ NOVA 1 items. High sugar products are defined as food with ≥22.5 g/100 g or drinks with ≥11.25 g/100 g of total sugar; high-fat products are defined as food with ≥17.5 g/100 g of fat or ≥ 5.0 g/100 g saturated fat or drinks ≥8.75 g/100 g of fat or ≥2.5 g/100 g of saturated fat; high salt defined as food with ≥1.5 g/100 g of salt or drinks ≥0.75 g/100 g of salt. This score was based on the overall GHGE, nutritional quality, and cost medians per 100 kcal for each item. Each food scored 1 point if its GHGE was under the median, 1 point if its cost was under the median, and 1 point if its nutritional score was above the median for the relevant food group. Those items with the highest score (scoring 3) showcase the most environmentally sustainable, nutritious, and affordable products per every 100 kcal.
