    So like… anything you’re not cooking from scratch yourself. And even a lot of things you are, like any baked good would qualify as ultra-processed due to sweeteners and emulsifiers (e.g. egg).

      Read the link 😑

      Eggs are a primary ingredient. If you see “emulsifiers” on an ingredient list, it is dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, acetylated monoglycerides, polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, or diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides, as a few examples. It is not “eggs.”

      There are lots of baked good that do not meed the UPF criteria. If you read the link you can see for yourself.
