Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF) in the diets of infants and young children in the UK
In our latest policy report ‘Ultra-processed foods (UPF) in the diets of infants and young children in the UK: What they are, how they harm health, and what needs to be done to reduce intakes’ we outline how persistently high levels of childhood obesity are driven in part by the consumption of UPF-rich diets from infancy. It builds on our 2021 report ‘Enabling children to be a healthy weight: What we need to do better in the first 1000 days’, and draws on our previous work on commercial baby foods and on additives.
