  • UK government scientists have fudged a new report on the health risks posed by ultra-processed foods (UPFs), declaring the science to be 'uncertain'. The majority of evidence reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) was from systematic reviews linking UPFs to a range of health conditions, but the committee questioned the quality of the evidence saying it was difficult to discern what constituted a UPF.
