Meat-replacement models implemented in the present modelling analysis
| Replacement Scenario Models | Description of model | |
|---|---|---|
| Progressive (Model 1) | MA-25 | Partial replacement substituting 25 % of the current self-reported meat intake with a composite of meat alternatives. |
| MA-50 | Partial replacement substituting 50 % of the current self-reported meat intake with a composite of meat alternatives. | |
| MA-75 | Partial replacement substituting 75 % of the current self-reported meat intake with a composite of meat alternatives. | |
| MA-100 | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with a composite of meat alternatives. | |
| Ingredient (Model 2) | Vegetable | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives produced predominantly from vegetables. |
| Mycoprotein | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives produced predominantly from mycoprotein. | |
| Legume | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives produced predominantly from bean and pea. | |
| Tofu | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives produced from tofu. | |
| Nut | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives produced predominantly from nut. | |
| Soya | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives produced predominantly from soya. | |
| Fortification (Model 3) * | Fortified | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives that have been fortified with nutrients. |
| Unfortified | Full replacement substituting 100 % of the current self-reported meat intake with meat alternatives that have not been fortified with nutrients. | |
*Products identified as fortified if 1) explicitly stated nutrient fortification had been applied during manufacturing process; 2) isolated nutrients included in ingredient list. Products not meeting 1) or 2) identified as unfortified.
