About The Unprocessed Plate

Cut through the jargon and cut out the junk (food).

The effects of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are becoming more widely known with our high intake accounting for numerous health conditions. In the UK, 57% of an adult’s daily energy intake derives from UPF, with an even higher proportion – 66% – seen in adolescents.
