This initiative threatens to:
❌ Undermine rigorous, independent nutrition research
❌ Create confusion among policymakers and the public
❌ Serve the interests of industries that profit from ultra-processed foods and diet-related diseases
🔹 Respect for scientific integrity—do not misuse the Nova name or its concepts
🔹 Transparency & independence—address conflicts of interest
🔹 A boycott of the industry-linked initiative by independent scientists
