"The manufacturing processes for ultra-processed foods typically involve techniques such as extrusion"
"along with the addition of various cosmetic additives, including those for ... colour."
Juicing isn’t extrusion.
But using extrusion pasta maker is. And beet juice is being used as cosmetic additive for color.
Both pasta and beet juice are group 1 unprocessed foods. Combining group 1 foods does not create a group 4 food.
WHERE IS ALL OF THIS COMING FROM? Is there some kind of food lobby front organization flooding social media with "your freshly baked bread is ultraprocessed according to GUBMINT NERDS" in order to defang the word?
Here is a good definition of ultra-processed:
>Ultra-processed foods are industrial formulations made entirely or mostly from substances extracted from foods (oils, fats, sugar, starch, and proteins), derived from food constituents (hydrogenated fats and modified starch), or synthesized in laboratories from food substrates or other organic sources (flavor enhancers, colors, and several food additives used to make the product hyper-palatable). Manufacturing techniques include extrusion, moulding and preprocessing by frying. Beverages may be ultra-processed. Group 1 foods are a small proportion of, or are even absent from, ultra-processed products.
