MRC Epidemiology UnitUltra-processed foods are being covered by the news more frequently, due to the recent release of books, TV programmes and podcasts on the topic.
We want to understand your experiences and understanding of the term ultra-processed foods, or UPFs. We are particularly interested in whether you have heard of the term from any form of media, how you understand the term, and whether your understanding of the term is related to the foods that you buy and eat.
We will share our results with people working in Government, other researchers, and the public. Our results could help Government understand public opinion about UPFs and whether they should enact any policies aimed at UPFs.
Please take the time to read the information in the Patient Information Steet below carefully. Discuss it with family and friends if you wish and decide whether you wish to take part.
