What is another word for packaged foods?
Pronunciation: [pˈakɪd͡ʒd fˈuːdz] (IPA) 
Packaged foods are convenient, readily available and widely consumed but often, they are heavily processed and full of additives and preservatives. Synonyms for packaged foods include processed foods, pre-packaged foods, ready-to-eat meals, convenience foods, and fast foods. While these foods are easy and convenient to cook or eat on the go, they lack the nutrients found in whole, natural foods. Other alternatives to packaged foods include fresh produce, lean meats, grains, and legumes. Consuming a balanced diet with a variety of whole foods rather than relying on packaged options can help maintain overall health and prevent chronic diseases.
