(NAFB.com) – The Food and Drug Administration is working to create a uniform definition of ultra-processed foods, opening the door to regulating one of the main targets of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” movement. The agency, in partnership with HHS and the USDA, is asking stakeholders for information and data that will help establish a federally recognized definition of ultra-processed foods. There is no single authoritative definition for ultra-processed foods for the U.S. food supply, the FDA said. A definition could help shape future regulation, including what types of food can be eligible for school lunch or food assistance benefit programs. Ultra-processed foods such as chips, sodas and packaged bread make up more than half of the total dietary energy consumed in high-income countries, including the U.S., according to the National Institutes of Health.
