Dairy and Alternatives 1 article

Dairy and Alternatives groups conventional dairy foods with plant-based substitutes that fill similar meal and grocery roles, from milk and yogurt to cheese-style products. In everyday meals, dairy and alternatives is used for breakfasts, snacks, beverages, cooking, and grocery substitution decisions. Nutrition and grocery comparisons are most useful when they track protein, fat, added sugar, fortification, allergens, and whether the base is dairy or plant-derived, while keeping flavored, fortified, reduced-fat, or alternative versions separate where those distinctions apply.
