Re the named foods. Like many things, moderation. Sodas. Ice cream. Spam, deviled ham, vienna sausage. Consume them rarely.

First I've heard of biscuits as ultra processed food. I'll eat bake-at-home biscuits (from the little cardboard roll) maybe twice a month. But I think the author is referring to something else?

It’s the BBC, so “biscuits” probably means “cookies.”

It’s BBC, so the English call cookies biscuits.

I either make from scratch or buy the frozen kind.

Its BBC... a “biscuit” is the UK word for cookie, just like a potato chip is called a “crisp”.

British English. We call cookies “cookies”; they call them “biscuits”. They don’t have what we call biscuits. Instead they have scones and crumpets.
