BROADER CONCEPT

SCOPE NOTE

  • A defining characteristic of ultra-processed products is that they are formulated mostly or entirely from substances derived from foods, with little or even no whole food content. They typically are not recognizable as versions of foods, although many are designed to imitate the appearance, shape or sensory qualities of food. (FAO, 2015) (en)
