Researchers launch a new food ranking system to help consumers choose healthier options, linking ultra-processed foods to health risks.

Researchers from Mass General Brigham have developed a food ranking system for over 50,000 processed foods sold at major U.S. grocery stores, including Target, Walmart, and Whole Foods. The TrueFood website uses an algorithm to score foods based on processing levels, aiming to help consumers make healthier choices. A European study also links higher consumption of ultra-processed foods to increased risks of major diseases, highlighting the importance of dietary changes for better health outcomes.
