In my opinion, ultra-processing requiring equipment, procedures or chemicals found only in a laboratory or factory, not a typical home kitchen from the past century or so.
That's overly simple though, the definition is here: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/nova https://world.openfoodfacts.org/nova (this seems to be a summary of the definition in FAO document linked above).
- panzagl 5y agoThe guy who invented Fritos made them at home- does that mean they're not ultra-processed?
- dehrmann 5y agoPotato chips are another example. They can be made at home from ingredients that could otherwise be considered healthy. It's just that when you combine them in the right proportions, it can be hard to control how much you eat. The other misnomer is labeling chips as "not nutritious." They're loaded in macronutrients. They often don't have many micro nutrients, but most people aren't actually short on those. The main problem with some of these foods is they're calorically dense, but not filling.
