Original: Eliminating Ultra-Processed Food From School Cafeterias Will Be Costly, Complicated, Study Warns
A new study warns that eliminating ultra-processed foods from US school cafeterias would be both expensive and logistically complicated. Researchers point to higher food costs, supply chain challenges, and the difficulty of reformulating meals that meet federal nutrition standards without processed ingredients. The findings complicate growing calls from health advocates to strip ultra-processed products from children's school lunches.
Why now: Debate over ultra-processed foods and children's health is intensifying, making new research on the practical costs of school food reform newsworthy.
