Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial products generally defined as the formulations of ingredients derived from foods and additives that can be described as characteristically fatty, sugary, or salty, energy-dense, lacking protein, and dietary fiber, micronutrients, and several bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to explore the food consumption behavior between UPF and non-UPF among the adults in Brgy. Looc, Calamba, Laguna (BLCL) during the COVID – 19 Pandemic. Seventy-five participants aged 18-39, residing in Barangay, Looc, Calamba, Laguna completed the survey form containing the sociodemographic data and a three day 24-hour food recall. Descriptive statistics were used for sociodemographic data while parametric test Spearman Rho was used to investigate the association between UPF consumption and diet quality. Ultra-processed food consumption of adults in BLCL constituted 37%. The estimated mean caloric intake of the 75 respondents was 1930kcal and nutrient inadequacy and micronutrient deficiency were reported. UPF is associated with diet quality however, it was a weak association. Further studies are needed to understand factors influencing the selection and consumption of UPFs and to plan out effective strategies to promote healthy food choices given the importance of healthy eating in lowering risk factors for lifestyle-related diseases.
