Special edition roundtable for all professionals working in nutrition and health
On the 11th July 2023, the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) published their long awaited report on processed foods and health. Members noted that it would be timely to consider this issue since there was increasing discussion and debate regarding the implications of food processing on health.
Recently, ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have been hitting the media headlines, causing a lot of confusion amongst both health professionals and the public.
Consuming a diet high in UPFs has been associated with poor health outcomes such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, cancer, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and depression. Currently, over 50% of the calories we consume in the UK are classified as UPFs. However, the question needs to be raised – should all UPFs be classed the same? Do we need clearer definitions? It’s vital we understand the classification system for UPFs and the role they should or shouldn’t play in our diet.
Hosted by a panel of experts in nutrition and food science, this special edition roundtable aims to shed light on the growing concerns surrounding ultra-processed foods, breaking down the new SACN report.
We’ll cover:
- Key practice points within the new SACN guidance
- The definitions and classification system for UPFs
- The limitations to the current classicisation system for UPFs
- Health risks associated with high consumption of UPFs
Access to this special edition roundtable is available for just £9.99.
