Ultra-Processed Foods: Do We Need a Tighter Definition?
As the global conversation around nutrition intensifies, the classification of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) continues to spark debate among health experts, policymakers, and food industry professionals. While the term is widely used in public health discussions, there is growing concern that the current definitions may lack the precision needed for clear guidance and effective policy. In this session, we will explore the challenges and implications of defining UPFs more rigorously, examining how a more refined definition could impact consumer behaviour, food manufacturing, and public health initiatives. Join us for a dynamic discussion on how we address the role of ultra-processed foods in our diets.
