Ultra-processed foods: the alert continues, and so does your office snack break 🍴
A new health alert highlights the increased effects of ultra-processed foods on our health. Discover how this also impacts your office snack and fruit break deliveries.
What does the alert say?
According to an article published on October 29, 2025 on Environment & Health Politics , ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are increasingly being highlighted for their negative effects on health: overweight, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and even hormonal disorders.
Why are these products problematic?
The problem does not only stem from their calorie content, but also from their composition (additives, industrial pre-treatments, low nutritional density): even with equivalent calories, PUFs cause adverse metabolic effects.
What are the consequences for your breaks at the office?
For a company like Neary, which specializes in delivering healthy fruits, teas, coffees, and snacks to offices, this alert reinforces the importance of offering more natural, minimally processed alternatives. Employees are increasingly attentive to the quality of snacks and the impact of their diet on their health.
What can be done in practical terms?
- Opt for products with a low degree of processing (whole fruits, oilseeds, bars without additives).
- Check the labels: fewer ingredients, more fiber, controlled portion size.
- Offer your employees in the offices a prominently featured "wellness break" category.
The final word
The warning is clear: ultra-processed foods aren't just about excess calories, but also about nutritional quality and metabolic effects. For a sustainable and delicious break at the office, opting for simplicity and natural ingredients is more than ever the winning strategy!
