Research is lacking. Some studies are lumping store bought twinkies with vegetarian meats — which are completely different foods (and even in the fake meat category the preservatives, sodium levels, and other ingredients wildly vary).
The term “processed” Is being latched on to by the media without a clear definition of what that means/includes or clear research into the roots of what is a processed food and what’s in it that’s bad for you and why. It’s a useless “catch all” term.

Ive commented elsewhere before that technically multivitamins and whey protein powder are ultraprocessed.
