SCC Nexus · UPF26 Food Processing Evidence Observatory
An evidence-first research programme asking what information disappears when packaged foods are reduced to a single processing label.
Research-stage disclosure: Evidence monitoring is operational, but the prospective 20-product study has not started and methodology release 0.1.0 is DRAFT. These pages do not claim peer-reviewed findings or clinical validity.
What meaningful information is lost when packaged foods are described only by a single NOVA category instead of separately reported composition, formulation, whole-food retention, processing and exposure dimensions?
This research question is prospectively falsifiable and allows a null or stop result.
Automated bibliographic discovery, metadata corroboration, deterministic relevance screening and independent scientific review are separate steps. Index overlap does not establish independent scientific corroboration.

Prospective endpoints, blinded-review safeguards, reproducible rule definitions, publication gates and the unfinished submission checklist.
Scientific submission route →Bounded technical demonstrations and possible partnerships, without invented market forecasts or validation claims.
Business due diligence →What is public, what stays private, what needs authorisation and how to request corrections or independent scrutiny.
Public disclosure register →Daily, weekly and monthly published JSON snapshots remain available directly from the Observatory, with canonical dates and source revisions.
