We need to get away from the NOVA system.

It’s terribly broken, which is unsurprising since it was never designed to do what it does, and ends up placing healthy, non addictive foods under the ultra processed category 4, while including hyper palatable foods that are not healthy at all in categories 1-3.

Hyper palatability, which is much better defined and is designed to capture what the NOVA system is actually used for, is likely a better categorization.
