I think the first three commentors here are foolish.
If you know what it is like, in any kind of manufacturing plant, or done a single lab in high school, or fuck, just spent one month, looking up ingreditent processes you find on your lables, and how the odd ones are made, fuck, one should be able to understand. These arguments just read to me, “im too dense to understand, therefore it’s fake and not a thing”. It’s super annoying.
I consume some UPFs. I also avoid them. You cannot change my mind, please dont bother, just see three industry comments here, I had to speak. Sorry gooooood day
All the ingredients are simple. The process is slice and fry.
I think by most general definitions, this wouldn’t be ultra processed, but intuitively we look at a bag of potato chips as think “unhealthy / ultra processed” (correctly).
Coffee and tea is ultra processed by most definitions, but also not intuitively what I would call ultra processed.
I think that’s what makes these definitions difficult, and by extension doing research on such a topic.

The vegetable oils are super ultra processed, if you lookup a oil factory it has a Factorio like industrial vibe.
