Most research disputing ultraprocessed food definition has industry ties

Original: 9/10 research papers disputing ultraprocessed food definition have industry ties

An investigation by The Examination found that nine out of ten research papers challenging the Nova definition of ultraprocessed food have ties to the food industry. The findings raise questions about scientific objections to how ultraprocessed foods are classified, suggesting the pushback may be shaped by commercial interests rather than independent research. Commenters are weighing what this means for nutrition science credibility.

Why now: The investigation's finding of widespread industry funding behind criticism of the ultraprocessed food definition is drawing attention and debate.
