Heuristics in Perceiving Ultra-Processed Food Healthiness by ssj2201 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This study explores how citizens in Uruguay conceptualize healthy food and judge the healthiness of ultra-processed foods through focus group discussions. Participants primarily focused on food characteristics, using heuristics such as label design and ingredient lists to assess healthiness, indicating that not all ultra-processed foods are deemed unhealthy. The findings highlight the need for policies that effectively communicate the potential negative impacts of ultra-processed foods on health.
