The government recently put out a request for information about ultra-processed foods as they consider putting forth a formal definition, and the WGC team submitted comments. We believe that nutrition policy best supports public health when it focuses on nutrient density/quality rather than processing. We worry that categorizing products based on their processing status could have unintended consequences, grouping healthy foods with unhealthy foods, and steering people away from foods they should be eating, such as whole grains.
