There is a growing awareness among consumers about consumption of Ultra Processed Foods and their impacts on human health. The following article discusses a side of the argument that is not often heard. My view is that there does need to be more research but in the meantime, it’s not unreasonable for consumers to question why an ingredient is added to a food product. Companies have a responsibility to enable more disclosure including why certain ingredients are included. But consumers should also question the “sound bites” of Social Media posts and dig deeper into the sensationalism. Again those are my views. Happy to hear your perspectives!
