Reply to comment by scaevolus in In a Nutri-Score analysis of plant-based analogues to animal products: meats and milks were most commonly graded equally (D and B, respectively), except plant-based poultry with a C. Plant-based yoghurt was generally graded better (B against C) but plant-based cheese score was lower (E against D). by Unethical_Orange

Yes, I agree that the current iteration of Nutri-Score isn't the best metric. This part of the criticism in my original comment, but I should have been more direct.

Regardless, the system is explained in the paper itself and, with the lack of evidence in the matter, specially open access, my opinion is that it's preferrable to have this than nothing. Even more so as Nutri-Score is being widely used.

I don't think this is trying to push the narrative that plant-based alternatives are healthy because they explicitly point out that they aren't, regardless of their Nutri-Scores.
