Food Standards Scotland publish consumer resources on processed food

Food Standards Scotland (FSS) has published two consumer resources on processed food and health. The first is a position paper that details the background and evidence, noting that although there are associations with foods considered ultra-processed and poor health outcomes, the evidence should be treated with caution.

FSS has also published 'Five facts you need to know about processed and ultra-processed foods'. This is designed to help consumers make sense of the topic.
