Food is classified in four subcategories according to the NOVA food classification. NOVA Category-4: Ultra-processed foods include gased drinks, packed salt and sweet snacks, re-configured animal products (salms, sauces, ready cooking products), pre-prepared foods, pre-cooked and frozen foods. Ultra-processed foods have been observed to increase their consumption and, therefore, unhealthy nutrition as well as morbidity and mortality because they are beautiful, easily accessible and cheap. Examples of these health problems are type 2 diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and cancer. In the context of studies in literature, the current collection has revealed the common effects on ultra-processed foods and health. It is important to develop new nutritional policies and guidelines at national and international levels to reduce the consumption of ultra-processed foods and their health effects, according to current data.
