The Trump administration is expected to create exemptions in its upcoming definition of ultra-processed foods for products that meet existing FDA "healthy" food criteria, as well as infant formula, according to Bloomberg sources familiar with the matter.
The proposed definition is expected to include a list of food additives and artificial colorings commonly associated with ultra-processed foods. However, products already qualifying for the FDA's "healthy" designation—such as certain yogurts and whole-grain breads—could be excluded from the ultra-processed category despite undergoing significant processing.
The effort marks a key step in establishing the first federal U.S. definition of ultra-processed foods.
