Associations between food insecurity and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participation with ultra-processed food acquisitions for home consumption in US households
UPF acquisitions for home consumption were high for US households across food security and SNAP categories. Marginal food security was associated with higher UPF acquisitions for home consumption in US households. However, we observed no associations between food insecurity and SNAP participation with UPF acquisitions. More research on drivers of this association for households with marginal food security should be conducted.
