Processed food is technically defined as any food that has undergone changes to its natural state. That is any raw agricultural commodity subject to washing, cleaning, cutting, chopping, feeding, pasteurizing, heating, etc. Oftentimes processed food involves salt, sugar, or oil, in order to increase the longevity and package it.
But there are levels to this sh*t. Buying a vegetable medley that’s been chopped and seasoned for you would technically mean it’s “processed.” Doritos are also processed. That’s where common sense comes into play.
80% of your food should be coming from single-ingredient foods, and there’s room for some of your food to be coming from processed sources. Even foods like Oreos.
