Description

Multi-component food items (MCFI) are single food products with sensorially distinguishable components, often brought together via ultra-processing. Despite their apparent ubiquity, there is little research on how MCFI impact eating behaviour. Here we bring together a multi-disciplinary team to conduct foundational preliminary work in this area to aid future investigations
