The food supply includes both fresh and processed foods. Both food and nutrition security, or the degree to which food supplies fulfill people's dietary requirements, may be improved through the use of processed foods. The nutritional effects of processed foods are the main topic of this ASN scientific statement. This scientific statement's three main contributions are as follows: 1) an overview of the impact of processed foods on population health, 2) a discussion of the roles that different groups can play in promoting healthier eating habits, and 3) a look at the latest developments in relevant research and technology. By sharing accurate information and working together to increase consumer awareness, professionals in the fields of nutrition and food science, the food industry, and other interested parties can help to improve people's diets and ensure a safe, tasty, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly food supply. This study looked at whether or not food labeling requires consumers to have a certain level of nutrition literacy. Consumers who already know a lot about a topic are more likely to utilize label information wisely, according to a cognitive processing model. This means they will pay greater attention to the most important details, fully comprehend them, and base their purchasing choices on this knowledge.
