flag A UK survey reveals strong public support for banning ultra-processed foods due to health concerns.

flag A UK survey of 2,000 adults found 39% support banning ultra-processed foods (UPFs), with 66% fearing worse health for future generations. flag Two-thirds are concerned about UPFs' public health impact, and 77% back warning labels. flag Over three-quarters want schools to teach about UPF risks and home cooking. flag Despite growing awareness, 24% can't identify UPFs, and barriers to cooking from scratch include time (44%), cost (19%), and complexity (16%). flag Thirty-one percent now cook more from scratch, driven by health, cost, and avoiding UPFs. flag UPFs, linked to obesity, heart disease, and cancer, make up 50% of diets in the UK and US, compared to under 25% in countries like Italy and Greece. flag The survey was conducted by Mortar Research for Lakeland in January 2026.
