With more people reducing their meat intake for health and environmental reasons, the popularity of plant-based products has skyrocketed. But is veggie mince good for you? Navigating the nutritional profile of these alternatives requires looking beyond the 'plant-based' label and considering ingredients, processing, and fortification.

A 2023 study found that 37-41% of plant-based products, including some veggie mince, were classified as ultra-processed under the NOVA system. The level of processing can vary significantly, from industrial techniques to simple kitchen methods, raising important questions about the nature of veggie mince and its ingredients.
