Is it a ready-to-eat mass manufactured packaged food?

Fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, milk, eggs, nuts. Natural foods with no additives.
NOVA groups 1→4 separate minimally processed foods from ultra-processed industrial formulations. UPFs (group 4) correlate with excess sodium, sugar and additives and often score low on Instant Food Score. Use the scanner: if a label lists emulsifiers, flavourings or hydrogenated oils, it’s likely NOVA 4.
