Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health
  • Food Science

Background:

  • Distinguishing healthy from unhealthy foods is challenging for healthcare professionals and consumers.
  • Growing evidence links ultra-processed foods (UPFs) to adverse health effects.
  • A clear definition and understanding of UPFs are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define and describe ultra-processed foods (UPFs) based on the NOVA classification.
  • To provide accessible information on UPFs for South Asian readers.
  • To aid in identifying and avoiding UPFs for improved health outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing the internationally accepted NOVA classification system for food processing.
  • Defining ultra-processed foods (UPFs) based on their level of processing.
  • Incorporating South Asian food examples to illustrate the concept.

Main Results:

  • Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are characterized by industrial formulations and minimal whole food components.
  • The NOVA classification provides a framework to categorize foods based on processing.
  • South Asian examples help contextualize the definition of UPFs for the target audience.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the definition of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is crucial for public health.
  • The NOVA classification offers a standardized method for identifying UPFs.
  • Accessible information, including regional examples, can empower individuals to make healthier food choices.
