I am constantly reading about the harm of ultra processed food and as single 80 year old man often wonder has I put my ready meal in my trolley "I wonder is this ultra processed"?
Like so many of these food issues why does the Government define what is meant by the term and require manufacturers to state if it is ultra processed on the Label in a standard way. Same thing with ingredients, sugars etc.
We are sensible enough to have standard road signs why are you not campaigning for standard food packaging not telling me about it and leaving me to judge what is ultra processed.
I’ve found it easier to avoid stuff that messes with my blood sugar by using the ultra-processed food checker. It gives a quick idea of how processed something is before I even bother scanning the label. Some foods that seem harmless turned out to be pretty dodgy once I checked. It’s definitely made grocery shopping faster and a bit less frustrating.
