Rethinking unhealthy foods

Avoiding processed food products helps people lead healthier lives.

The consumption of processed food in Nepal is rising due to urbanisation, busy lifestyles and exposure to global food culture. With more people moving to cities for work and education, there is a growing demand for convenient, ready-to-eat options like instant noodles, snacks, beverages, dairy products, frozen foods and canned goods. Both local brands and imports, particularly from India and China, are meeting this demand.
