Question

Which statement is NOT true about processing?
	Minimally processed frozen vegetables offer as many nutrients as their fresh counterparts. Decreasing the proportion of ultra-processed foods in the U.S. diet is likely to improve diet quality. There is an inverse relationship between ultra-processed foods in the U.S. diet and overall dietary quality. Processed foods only include those containing added sugars, fats, and/or salt.

Answer 1

Option A is not correct as the processed frozen vegetables do not offer as many nutrients as their fresh counterparts. In the frozen foods there is ice crystal affect which causes the tearing of the fibers as well as reduce the enzymatic levels in that, hence the nutrient quality and level is hampered.
