This paper describes a food classification system that is based on the level of processing of the food. Foods are categorized into four groups: Group 1 - Unprocessed or minimally processed foods; Group 2 - Processed culinary ingredients; Group 3 - Processed foods; Group 4 - Ultra-processed food and drink products.
Intake’s online resource library has been developed to provide easy access to grey literature and links to peer reviewed journal articles that are relevant to the collection, analysis, and use of dietary data in low- and middle-income countries. The library includes Intake technical reports and briefs, guidance documents, survey planning tools, and videos, as well as access to a curated set of publications and tools authored by others. Users should note that Intake's online resource library is still under development. Once completed, the resource library will be updated periodically.
