Price and Diet Quality Comparison of Ultra-Processed and Minimally Processed Menus
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Objectives: A recently published menu that contained >80% of energy from ultra-processed foods (UPF) yet met recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) suggested it may be feasible to achieve a high diet quality with UPFs; however, further analysis of price and diet quality is warranted. The price and diet quality amongst two menus aligned with the Dietary Guidelines of Americans (DGA) but differing in level of ultra-processed foods (UPF) were investigated.
