in your local supermarket, such as Oscar Mayer, Jell-O, and Lunchables. But for any health-conscious consumers, a new survey may have you thinking twice before you reach for a Kraft Heinz product during your next grocery run.from the global health group World Action on Salt, Sugar & Health looked at five global food producers and found that Kraft Heinz had the highest proportion of"unhealthy" food and drink items.
Though Kraft Heinz ended up having the highest proportion of unhealthy products, most of the others did not fare much better. A majority of the Kellogg's, Nestlé, and Unilever products considered in the survey were deemed as unhealthy across all three markets. Only Danone saw a minority of its products—just 35%—classified as unhealthy across all markets.
"Improving the nutritional content of food and drink by reformulating recipes with less salt, sugar and saturated fat is by far the most important strategy that any company should make to improve public health," Mhairi Brown, policy and public affairs lead with WASSH, said in a statement."However, by relying solely on industry's willingness and without government enforcement, we are unlikely to see a meaningful shift.
