That’s the problem though, there is no fixed definition for “Ultra processed foods” that doesn’t include healthy foods. Its a label people slap onto unhealthy foods and then retroactively attempt to categorise.
Yeah, if you pick an orange off the tree in your front yard, rinse it, and then peel it, it’s been processed. If you mash it up and bake it into bread with cranberries that’s ultra processed. We need better labels for food thats been handled vs food that’s barely food.
