    In Europe and Mexico they’re just outright banned. But I’m glad that now American regulators are considering that it possibly could be important or at least maybe possibly a little bit relevant for some people to know if they bother to read some small text on a package

      Uhm… What is considered ultra processed foods? Because you say in Europe is banned.

      But then somebody else here is saying frozen pizza is ultra processed and I am telling you I have eaten them in Europe. There were other examples provided in the comments that also have in Europe. Are they just “processed”, not ultra? One wonders.

        That’s a problem that’s talked about in the article, as well.

        One key point of contention is that there is no exact or established definition of what counts as “ultra-processed.”

      Where in Europe are they banned? I’m in the UK, frequently travel across Europe, and have never seen them banned just for being ultra-processed.
