California's Non-UPF Label Puts Science to the Test
California is moving forward with a label distinguishing foods that are not ultra-processed, a step that puts the scientific definition of ultra-processed foods under scrutiny. Supporters argue clearer labeling helps consumers make healthier choices, while food scientists and industry voices question whether current definitions are rigorous enough to support regulation, making the state a test case for how such labels might work nationwide.
Why now: California's push to label non-ultra-processed foods raises unresolved scientific and regulatory questions that are drawing wide attention.
