In the published article, there was an error in Table 4 as published. A column subheading was inserted in the middle of the table by mistake. Furthermore, two values in the “R (Unadjusted association)” column were not rounded. This subheading was removed. The corrected Table 4 appears below.

Unadjusted associations of urinary methylsyringol sulfate with the daily grams, energy, % grams and % energy intake from the 4 different Nova groups and middle bound scenario (N = 417).
