How the two scores differ

Longevity Score
Evaluates nutrition-related characteristics relevant to longer-term eating patterns. Longevity methodology
Food Integrity Score
Evaluates ingredient composition, processing and related ingredient-quality considerations. Food Integrity methodology

Food Integrity examines characteristics such as ingredients, processing and additive concerns, while Longevity evaluates nutrition-related characteristics associated with longer-term eating patterns. Because the two analyses answer different questions, a product can perform differently under each.

Strong Across Both Scores

Where Longevity and Food Integrity Differ

Ranked by the size of the gap between the two scores.

Longevity and Food Integrity measure different characteristics, so some foods can score very differently depending on whether nutrition patterns or ingredient and processing characteristics are emphasized. Neither score is the correct one — they answer different questions.
