Deliver a New Degree of Food Transparency
How a food is made is just as important as what goes into it. The Non-Ultraprocessed Food designation is the first standard to offer a clear, evidence-based framework to identify products that avoid the core hallmarks of ultraprocessing, including engineered additives and industrial processes that degrade food structure and function.
Why Choose Non-Ultraprocessed Food Verification?
Consumers are hungry for a new kind of transparency in their food; understanding not just what’s in it, but how it’s made. Non-UPF Verification is a signal to shoppers that you prioritize ingredient integrity and reduced reliance on industrial processing techniques.
- 72% of shoppers actively try to avoid ultra-processed foods (UPFs) but struggle to identify them.
- 57% say “how processed an item is” is now their #1 purchase driver, surpassing organic and non-GMO.
- 60%+ report being more likely to buy a product carrying a Non-UPF Verified™ mark — with ~30% willing to pay a premium.
