July 28, 2025<\/b> \u2013 On Friday, officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture published a notice<\/a> in the Federal Register asking the American public to weigh in on a key question: What, exactly, is an \u201cultra-processed food\u201d?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe threats posed to our health by foods often considered ultra-processed are clear and convincing, making it imperative that we work in lockstep with our federal partners to advance, for the first time ever, a uniform definition of ultra-processed foods,\u201d FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said in a press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The FDA is housed within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is a frequent critic of ultra-processed foods, also referred to as \u201cUPFs.\u201d The first Make America Healthy (MAHA) Report, released by the MAHA Commission he leads, focused heavily<\/a> on the foods\u2019 health harms. Last month, HHS also announced<\/a> it will run a public-facing campaign to warn Americans of the dangers of ultra-processed foods.<\/p>\n

While many nutritionists have been recommending diets heavy in whole foods for decades, the science on the specific health harms of ultra-processed foods<\/a> is still new, and no clear, single definition exists. The most common definition comes from the NOVA system<\/a>, developed by researchers in Brazil. However, some experts point to<\/a> its limitations.<\/p>\n

In the Federal Register notice, officials ask the public to weigh in on some of the complicated details that often get discussed when it comes to what is and isn\u2019t a UPF: Which physical processes should lead to a food being considered ultra-processed? Which ingredients on a label immediately make a food UPF, and does the amount in the food matter?<\/p>\n

In an interview<\/a> with Politico\u2019s Dasha Burns over the weekend, Makary acknowledged that landing on a \u201cperfect\u201d definition will be difficult; he characterized the process as essentially figuring out where to draw the line between simple processing that doesn\u2019t affect the healthfulness of a food (like chopping a cucumber) and industrial processing that does.<\/p>\n

The agencies will take public comments until September 23. The process is likely to draw significant input from health and nutrition advocacy groups, food companies and their trade associations, and the agricultural groups that represent farmers growing crops that get turned into common UPF ingredients, such as corn and soy.<\/p>\n

In the press release, the agencies said that when completed, the final definition \u201cwill allow for consistency in research and policy to pave the way for addressing health concerns associated with the consumption of ultra-processed foods.\u201d That could include significant implications for school meals<\/a> and food aid programs. While federal regulations in those programs don\u2019t currently include restrictions on UPFs, several states<\/a> have already begun passing laws that do, with Kennedy\u2019s help<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when the cost of diet-related disease continues to grow, we welcome any effort to help consumers identify and avoid UPF and build healthier diets,\u201d said Scott Faber, senior vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, in a statement.
