classified as “ultra-processed” (UPF), has continued to intensify since the <a href="https://iafns.org/food-classification-workshop/">IAFNS May 2023 Food Classification Workshop</a> and resulting 2024 publication, “<a href="https://iafns.org/publication/toward-a-science-based-classification-of-processed-foods-to-support-meaningful-research-and-effective-health-policies/">Toward A Science-Based Classification of Processed Foods to Support Meaningful Research and Effective Health Policies</a>.” Guidance to avoid these foods has entered the global policy sphere, despite that the vast majority of research is observational and the inconsistent classification of foods across publications, as noted by the 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee. Additionally, as recognized by many, the UPF classification of food products is very broad, and, at times in conflict with prevailing dietary guidance.</p> <p>Insertion of scientific rigor in discussions about food classification is needed to better algin future research so that related decisions benefit public health through evidence-based policies with clear and impactful messaging.</p> <h3><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Current Projects</strong></span></h3> <p>The tripartite Working Group has initiated a project focused on the development of <a href="https://iafns.org/science-based-principles-for-food-classification-based-on-processing-and-formulation-to-support-public-health/"><strong>Science-Based Principles for Classifying Foods Based on Processing and Formulation – to Support Public Health</strong></a>. The goal of this effort is to deliver statements (Principles) which researchers can agree are representative of the evidence required to classify foods based on processing and formulation.</p> <p>An independent Writing Team comprised of public sector scientists will lead the drafting of the Principles. The draft Principles will undergo iterative feedback from the broader food and nutrition community through a variety of mechanisms. The feedback will be considered by the Writing Team as they refine the Principles prior to submission to a peer-reviewed journal.</p> <p>To learn more, contact <a

available, affordable, and nutritious food supply. The USDA Food Guides beginning in 1916 and the US Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) since 1980 have included various types of commonly consumed processed foods (e.g., heated, fermented, dried) as part of their recommendations. However, there are multiple classification systems based on "level" of food processing, and additional evidence is needed to establish the specific properties of foods classified as "highly" or "ultra"-processed (HPF/UPFs). Importantly, many foods are captured under HPF/UPF definitions, ranging from ready-to-eat fortified whole grain breakfast cereals to sugar-sweetened beverages and baked goods. The consequences of implementing dietary guidance to limit all intake of foods currently classified as HPF/UPF may require additional scrutiny to evaluate the impact on consumers' ability to meet daily nutrient recommendations and to access affordable food, and ultimately, on health outcomes. Based on a meeting held by the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences in May 2023, this paper provides perspectives on the broad array of foods classified as HPF/UPFs based on processing and formulation, including contributions to nutrient intake and dietary patterns, food acceptability, and cost. Characteristics of foods classified as UPF/HPFs are considered, including the roles and safety approval of food additives and the effect of food processing on the food matrix. Finally, this paper identifies information gaps and research needs to better understand how the processing of food affects nutrition and health outcomes.</p> <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2024.1389601/full?utm_source=Email_to_authors_&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=T1_11.5e1_author&utm_campaign=Email_publication&field&journalName=Frontiers_in_Nutrition&id=1389601" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a> <h3><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2024.1389601/full?utm_source=Email_to_authors_&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=T1_11.5e1_author&utm_campaign=Email_publication&field&journalName=Frontiers_in_Nutrition&id=1389601" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Access Full Publication</a></h3> <a href="https://iafns.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FC-Workshop-Agenda.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a> <h3><a href="https://iafns.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FC-Workshop-Agenda.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Workshop Agenda</a></h3><p>Find the meeting agenda here.

Based on a meeting held by the Institute for the Advancement of Food and Nutrition Sciences in May 2023, this paper provides perspectives on the broad array of foods classified as HPF/UPFs based on processing and formulation, including contributions to nutrient intake and dietary patterns, food acceptability, and cost. Characteristics of foods classified as UPF/HPFs are considered, including the roles and safety approval of food additives and the effect of food processing on the food matrix. Finally, this paper identifies information gaps and research needs to better understand how the processing of food affects nutrition and health outcomes.</p> <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2024.1389601/full?utm_source=Email_to_authors_&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=T1_11.5e1_author&utm_campaign=Email_publication&field&journalName=Frontiers_in_Nutrition&id=1389601" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a> <h3><a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2024.1389601/full?utm_source=Email_to_authors_&utm_medium=Email&utm_content=T1_11.5e1_author&utm_campaign=Email_publication&field&journalName=Frontiers_in_Nutrition&id=1389601" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Access Full Publication</a></h3> <a href="https://iafns.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FC-Workshop-Agenda.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a> <h3><a href="https://iafns.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/FC-Workshop-Agenda.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Workshop Agenda</a></h3><p>Find the meeting agenda here.
