> Butter, sesame/vegetable oil and white rice are all processed foods.
The article is clearly using NOVA's definition of unprocessed vs ultraprocessed. Under NOVA's definition of unprocessed: butter, vegetable oil are "Group 2" (ingredients) while white rice is "Group 1" (unprocessed / minimally processed).
--------
As such, fresh Stir Fry from a restaurant with white rice, oil, and butter is Group2.
Group3 and Group4 are the "problematic" (allegedly) groups of high-processing.
