Ultra-processed foods also referred to as ultra-processed food products, are food and drink products that have undergone specified types of food processing.
These foods go through multiple processes (extrusion, moulding, milling, etc.), contain many added ingredients like preservation, colourings, flavouring, and sugars are highly manipulated.
