Nutrition experts urge White House to define ultra-processed foods
Original: Nutrition experts press White House to release ultra-processed food definition
Nutrition experts are calling on the White House to publish an official definition of ultra-processed foods. Without a clear federal definition, researchers and regulators lack a consistent standard for labeling, study and potential regulation of these products, which have been increasingly linked to obesity and chronic disease. The push comes as food policy moves up the US political agenda and agencies weigh how to classify processed items.
Why now: Ultra-processed foods are under growing scrutiny in US health policy, and experts want regulatory clarity.
