Adherence
Stronger corporate nutrition-related commitments in the French food industry do not translate into better product portfolio healthiness or marketing practices.
Do not rely on a company's stated 'health goals' or 'commitments' as a proxy for product quality. The data shows these promises do not correlate with the actual nutritional content of their products. Focus on the product itself (e.g., Nutri-Score, ingredient list) rather than the company's public relations.
