📢Sharing our new policy report on #UltraProcessedFoods in the diets of 👶👦👧 in the UK. Concerningly we find that #UPFs exist in all commercial baby & toddler food categories & among foods targeted at pre-schoolers. See firststepsnutrition.org/childrens-food… #BabyFood #ChildHealth #Nutrition 
🥣 In particular a large proportion of commercial 'finger foods' (i.e. snacks) & baby cereals are #UPF. The true extent of ultra-processing of the foods marketed for 👶👦👧is probably underestimated as we rely on ingredient markers on product labels
.@SibsonVicky Director of @1stepsnutrition is speaking now about The ultra-processing of the diets of babies and young children in the UK: Why it matters and what should be done about it. Will talk about #UltraProcessedFoods #UPF #bfconf
.@vickysibson: #NOVAClassification for foods featuring categories for raw & minimally processed foods, processed culinary ingredients, processed foods and ultraprocesed foods and drink. The latter category includes all infant milks #bfconf
Ultra processed foods definition captures far more foods than just "junk" or high in fat, salt, sugar aka HFSS foods from UK govt's nutrient profiling model (NPM) #bfconf
