Nutritional quality of foods according to the Nova food classification system after a behavioral economics intervention in food pantries
Neither a reduction in client selection of ultra-processed foods nor an increase in unprocessed/minimally processed foods were among the benefits of the intervention. Future research should explore interventions targeting Nova food categories and subgroups to improve the nutritional quality of foods in food pantries.
