This reminds me of Talebs argument that we should be careful to put stuff through our digestive system that didn't have the chance yet to get filtered out by tens of thousands of years of evolution. That's a pretty extrem position obviously, but I think the general direction makes sense. Even if we can test individual parts of those ultra-processed foods and not find direct risk immediately, the risk of putting all that stuff together in your body 50% of the time may just create way more risk than could ever be found by isolated clinical studies.
