New Zealand's per-person UPF imports surged from 16 to 104 kg since 1990, fueling health and environmental concerns.
New Zealand’s annual imports of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have risen sharply from 16 to 104 kilograms per person since 1990, driven by trade liberalization and increased reliance on cheap, industrial ingredients.
These foods, linked to rising obesity and chronic diseases, now make up 22% of total food imports, with no national nutrition survey conducted since 2008.
Experts urge stronger policies, including sugar taxes, marketing restrictions, and reformulation rules, to combat health and environmental impacts.
