Question 28: Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. Ultra-processed foods are a failure of the modern food system, and their profitable, shelf-stable design overrides satiety signals and directly causes chronic illness, forcing legislators to use interventions like warning labels to protect the public.

B. Ultra-processed foods are formulations prioritizing shelf-stability over nutrition and are engineered to override satiety, which, while highly profitable, are also linked to chronic diseases, creating a complex regulatory challenge.

C. The public health crisis caused by ultra-processed foods, which override satiety, has forced authorities to choose between implementing regulations or protecting the affordable food supply for the economically disadvantaged, a difficult decision.

D. The profitability of ultra-processed foods stems from their low nutritional density and shelf-stability, and this creates a health crisis by overriding satiety, leaving authorities to grapple with regulation that may harm the economically disadvantaged.
