It's like food: Virtually all food is "processed food" because all food requires some kind of process before you can eat it. Perhaps that process is "picking the fruit from the tree", or "peeling". But it's all processed in one way or another.

Hence the qualifier in “ultra-processed food”

But that qualifier in stupid because there’s no start or stopping point for ultra processed versus all foods. Is cheese an ultra-processed food? Is wine?
