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.
