Any food which is subject to processing such as canning, cooking, freezing, dehydration or milling or otherwise prepared to assure preservation of the food in transport, distribution & storage, but does not include the final cooking is called as processed food. The study aimed to assess the frequency consumption of ultra-processed food among consumers. A case study was conducted at different zones of Hyderabad. There were 100 samples from the free-living population. The control group was randomly selected. A specially designed questionnaire was developed and direct interview and online survey was done. The collected data was tabulated and analysed statistically using one sample t test and were significant at 100 and 050. The result reveals that 14% of respondents were Underweight, 34% were normal, 38% were overweight, 14% were obese. It also reveals that 67% of respondents observed weight changes due to consumption of processed food and 33% did not observed weight changes.
