Snacks Healthy Food Guide

Healthy Food Guide compares packaged snacks using two separate lenses. Longevity considers fiber, protein, added sugar, sodium and saturated fat per serving, while Food Integrity examines ingredients, processing and additives. Scores can differ substantially: a snack with a simple ingredient list may still be high in sugar or sodium, while a nutritionally strong product may contain more processed ingredients. This page summarizes 1429 published snacks products currently analyzed by Healthy Food Guide, with links to each individual breakdown.

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.
