What are ultra-processed foods?
什么是“超加工食品”？
The term comes from a way of classifying food by how much industrial processing it has been through.
这个术语源自一种按照工业加工程度对食品进行分类的方式。
The lowest category is "unprocessed or minimally processed foods", which include: fruit, vegetables, milk, meat, legumes, grains such as rice, eggs.
第一类是“没有经过加工或加工程度最小的食品”，包括水果、蔬菜、牛奶、肉、豆类、大米等谷物和鸡蛋。
"Processed foods" have been altered to make them last longer or taste better - generally using salt, oil, sugar or fermentation.
加工食品是经过处理使其保质期更长或味道更佳的食品，通常加入盐、油、糖或采用发酵的方式。
This category includes: cheese, bacon, home-made bread, tinned fruit and vegetables, smoked fish, beer.
加工食品包括：奶酪、熏猪肉、自制的面包、罐头水果和蔬菜、熏鱼、啤酒。
Then come "ultra-processed foods", which have been through more substantial industrial processing and often have long ingredient lists on the packet, including added preservatives, sweeteners or color enhancers.
“超加工食品”则是经过更深度的工业加工的食品，通常包装上有长长的一列食品成分，包括防腐剂、甜味剂或色素。
