Ultra-processed food and fast food
Crisps, savoury snacks, ready meals, nuggets, sugary cereals, industrial cold cuts: rich in calories, salt, sugar or fat and low in fibre, they are eaten quickly and in large amounts.
Tips
- Read the ingredients list: the longer it is, the more processed the product.
- Cook simply, prepare more meals at home and freeze portions.
- Keep snacks within reach only when they are healthy: fruit, raw vegetables, plain yoghurt, a handful of nuts.
