The food system is…complex. 🥴🧩 It’s impossible for any one entity or certification to fix it all. By hyper-focusing on processing, we’re able to serve brands and consumers best in that specific issue area, while not being duplicative of the work of other organizations aiming to make change in the food system.

🤔 There’s a common misconception that all packaged and convenience food is UPF, but that’s far from the truth.
🥫 Packaged foods can be truly nourishing options so long as they’re minimally processed. But you cannot determine level of processing from the ingredient panel alone.
💖 As third-party certifiers, we have access to a deeper level of information on processing to help you distinguish true nourishment from mere marketing claims.

💡 DYK: The food we eat actually alters our gene expression — for better or for worse. Science is only beginning to understand the implications of epigenetics on our physical and mental health.

The modern food system is a maze of labels and marketing designed to keep us consuming (and not questioning).
But when we take time to consciously engage with what we eat - by learning, cooking, shopping, and consuming in ways that align with our values - we reclaim our agency within this system. Each meal becomes a way to nourish our bodies, our communities, and the entire web of life.

🤔 Part of the collective struggle to successfully define ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) is the complexity of the topic and the nuance it requires us to hold. It’s not a definition that fits neatly into one or two sentences.
💖 We wrote our standard in collaboration with stakeholders from across the food system to help better define UPF for consumers and the marketplace.
📋 We’re not done yet. While version 1 of the Non-UPF Verified standard is finalized and in use, revised versions will be published regularly to stay relevant with the changing tides of the retail food system.
You can read the full #nonupfverified standard now on our website (link in bio).
