The 10 Most Ultra Processed Foods in UK Supermarkets

The 10 Most Ultra Processed Foods in UK Supermarkets More than half of the calories consumed in the UK now come from ultra-processed foods—the highest proportion in Europe. But which everyday supermarket products are the most heavily processed? In this investigation, we count down 10 of the most ultra-processed foods commonly found in UK supermarkets, examining their ingredients, how they're manufactured, and what the latest research says about diets high in ultra-processed foods. From supermarket bread and breakfast cereals to instant noodles, processed meats and energy drinks, we separate the marketing from what's actually inside the packet. If you shop at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl or Waitrose, this is information every shopper should know. 👍 Subscribe & Share: If you enjoy evidence-based investigations into food, drink and everyday consumer products, please subscribe and turn on notifications.
