Most research questioning ultraprocessed food definition has industry ties

Original: 9/10 research papers disputing ultraprocessed food definition have industry ties

A new analysis reported by The Examination finds that nine out of ten research papers disputing the validity of the Nova ultraprocessed food classification have ties to the food industry. Critics of Nova argue the category is too broad to be scientifically meaningful, but the findings suggest industry funding may be shaping the scientific debate over how ultraprocessed foods are defined and regulated.

Why now: Regulators and health officials are actively weighing whether to define and restrict ultraprocessed foods, so evidence of industry influence in the debate draws scrutiny.
