Ultra‐processed products are becoming dominant in the global food system (2013, background): “Previous and more detailed analyses of all foods purchased by households in Canada and Brazil show that ultra-processed products have displaced and are displacing staple foods, such as potatoes in Canada, and rice and beans in Brazil; and also other foods, such as legumes, milk, and fruits in Canada”
Ultra-processed foods and added sugars in the US diet: evidence from a nationally representative cross-sectional study (2016, methodology): “38 Being based on household purchasing data, these two prior studies and others based on the NOVA classi ﬁ cation system 23 39 – 42 could not evaluate the fraction of wasted food nor purchases at restaurants, which represent a substantial proportion of US calories.”
The UN Decade of Nutrition, the NOVA food classification and the trouble with ultra-processing (2017, background): “socio-economic and demographic distribution of dietary patterns((36,37)); time changes in dietary patterns((36,38)); the impact of the dietary share of ultra-processed products on the dietary content of macronutrients and micronutrients((42)); and the association of consumption of ultra-processed pr”
Climate Change, Global Food Security, and the U.S. Food System (2015, background): “More-highly processed foods may be consumed more frequently in the future, helping to ameliorate both potential food-safety concerns and higher energy costs, though introducing other variables into the human health equation (Monteiro et al. 2011).”
Food as Commons or Commodity? Exploring the Links between Normative Valuations and Agency in Food Transition (2017, background): “On the contrary, transnational corporations are major drivers of the latter two of these, in the case of obesity epidemics, for example, by maximising profit from increased consumption of ultra-processed food and drink [101-102].”
