Ialmost always cook from scratch and avoid additives where possible, so giving up ultraprocessed food (UPF) was going to be a breeze for me. Wasn’t it? So I thought, anyway.
I started smugly, steering my supermarket trolley around the outer aisles where much of the fruit, veg, meat and dairy – whole, unprocessed foods – are stocked. But I quickly realised my household consumes far more UPFs than I’d considered.
