Consumers' concern regarding possible negative health effects of food products produced with intensive farming methods has led to a great interest in the health benefits of organically-produced fruits, vegetables and animal products. Given the significant increase in consumer interest toward this area, there is a need to determine to what extent there is a scientific basis for claims made for organic products. In this sense, studies comparing organic food products and conventional ones were assessed for the key area, nutritional quality. While the assessed articles have shown differences among organic and conventional foods in favour of organic ones, still the information is limited and more research needs to be done in order to draw unwavering conclusions that organic food products are superior compared to conventional ones.

消费者对采用集约化耕作方法生产的食品可能产生的负面健康影响的关注已引起人们对有机生产的水果，蔬菜和动物产品的健康益处的极大兴趣。鉴于消费者对该领域的兴趣显着增加，因此需要确定在多大程度上对有机产品提出的索赔具有科学依据。从这个意义上说，对有机食品和传统食品进行了比较研究，评估了关键领域，营养质量。尽管所评估的文章显示出有机食品与常规食品之间的差异，而有机食品偏重于有机食品，但信息仍然有限，需要做更多的研究才能得出毫无疑问的结论，即有机食品比常规食品优越。
