Article Synopsis
- - High consumption of ultra-processed foods and drinks (UPF) is linked to poor diet quality and a greater risk of non-communicable diseases, prompting the need for updated data on UPF intake among different sociodemographic groups in Canada.
- - A study using data from 5,872 adults indicated that, on average, 45.2% of total daily energy came from UPF, with slightly higher consumption in males (49.4%) and younger adults aged 19-30 (50.0%).
- - The findings suggest that UPF consumption is notably high across various sociodemographic groups, underscoring the necessity for public policies aimed at reducing UPF intake in the general population.
