ULTRA PROCESSED REDEFINED BY GOVT

Ultra-processed food isn't simply cooked or preserved, it's been fundamentally transformed. Stripped of natural nutrients and rebuilt with industrial ingredients like hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, and chemical preservatives, these products are designed not to nourish you, but to extend shelf life and drive overconsumption. If the ingredient list reads like a chemistry textbook rather than a recipe, that's your first clue. Study after study links ultra-processed food to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. The question is no longer whether it harms us - it's why we keep allowing it to be the cheapest thing on the shelf.
