better for you

Improved for wellness

Better for you is marketing language for food products positioned as healthier alternatives to conventional versions—lower in sugar, fat, sodium, or artificial ingredients: The better-for-you snack aisle has exploded in recent years.

The phrase carefully avoids claiming products are actually healthy, only that they're improvements over worse options.
