The nutritional quality of 132 plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) and 242 plant-based dairy alternatives (PBDAs) in the Brazilian market was evaluated for nutritional content reported in the labeling. Added sugar, saturated fat, and sodium limits were also observed according to the new Brazilian front-of-pack labeling (FOPL). In general, PBMAs have a considerable content of protein, dietary fiber and reduced content of saturated fat and sodium, while PBDAs have a low Na content, a high content of total and saturated fat, but are poor in protein and dietary fiber. Regarding micronutrients, PBMAs can be considered a source of iron, and PBDAs are a source of calcium. For FOPL, 37% of PBDAs and 21% of PBMAs must have the descriptions "high in saturated fat" and "high in sodium", respectively, on their labels. Therefore, the PBMAs and PBDAs available on the Brazilian market have great potential to contribute to a healthy diet, however, aspects such as the absorption of nutrients and their effects on health and the possibility of total or partial replacement of meat and dairy products should be considered in future investigations. In addition, the data presented are useful to assist consumers, food industries, and regulatory bodies.

根据标签上报告的营养成分，对巴西市场上132种植物性肉类替代品（PBMA）和242种植物性乳制品替代品（PBDA）的营养质量进行了评估。还根据巴西新的包装正面标签（FOPL）观察了添加糖、饱和脂肪和钠的限量。总体而言，PBMA含有相当数量的蛋白质、膳食纤维，饱和脂肪和钠含量降低，而PBDA钠含量低，总脂肪和饱和脂肪含量高，但蛋白质和膳食纤维含量低。关于微量营养素，PBMA可被视为铁的来源，PBDA是钙的来源。对于FOPL，37%的PBDA和21%的PBMA在其标签上必须分别有“饱和脂肪含量高”和“钠含量高”的描述。因此，巴西市场上的PBMA和PBDA有很大潜力有助于健康饮食，然而，未来的研究应考虑营养吸收及其对健康的影响以及肉类和乳制品全部或部分替代的可能性等方面。此外，所呈现的数据有助于帮助消费者、食品行业和监管机构。
