A RESOLUTION urging federal policymakers to adopt a uniform definition of "ultra-processed food."

This resolution asks federal policymakers to create a single, consistent definition for "ultra-processed food" across all government agencies and research. It directly affects federal agencies like the USDA and FDA, as well as researchers, food producers, and policymakers who currently face confusion from varying definitions. The bill proposes specific criteria to classify ultra-processed foods, excluding nutrient-dense items and whole foods that undergo minimal processing or traditional preservation methods. By establishing clear terminology, the resolution aims to improve communication in research, dietary guidelines, and public health discussions without imposing new regulations on businesses or consumers.
