These are clearly ultra-processed foods. But, what about your frozen veggie burger, your protein cookie, or even that whole wheat bread you buy at the grocery store? You might not think you eat ultra-processed foods, but unless you’re living 100% farm-to-table, you probably do. So, are ultra-processed foods as scary as they sound? Should we stop eating them altogether… and is that even possible?

On this episode of Mayo Clinic on Nutrition, we talk with Dr. Stephen Kopecky about the ultra-confusing world of ultra-processed foods.
