Retraction Note to: npj Science of Food https://doi.org/10.1038/s41538-024-00299-2, published online 18 September 2024

The Editors-in-Chief have retracted this review article after concerns were raised regarding the validity of several cited references. Upon further investigation, the Publisher identified a mismatch between the article’s text and its cited references, such as 147, 153, 163, 171 and 180. Additionally, Figure 2 referenced analyses that were not present in the article’s content. The authors were unable to provide an explanation for these concerns and submitted a revised reference list, which the Publisher found to contain several discrepancies.

As a result, the Editors-in-Chief no longer have confidence in the reliability of the content of this article.
