Impact of Consumption of Ultra-processed Foods in Individuals at High Risk of Cancer
The U-TRANS study was initiated by Gustave Roussy, which is its sponsor\*. It is part of the Interception Program and aims to reduce the consumption of ultra-processed foods in order to improve the overall quality of the diet among people at high risk of cancer (WCRF score ≤ 5, corresponding to low adherence to nutritional cancer prevention recommendations: eating a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruit and fibre, and limiting ultra-processed foods, red meat, processed meats, sugary drinks and alcohol).

About this study
The U-TRANS study was initiated by Gustave Roussy, which is its sponsor\*. It is part of the Interception Program and aims to reduce the consumption of ultra-processed foods in order to improve the overall quality of the diet among people at high risk of cancer (WCRF score ≤ 5, corresponding to low adherence to nutritional cancer prevention recommendations: eating a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruit and fibre, and limiting ultra-processed foods, red meat, processed meats, sugary drinks and alcohol). It assesses the impact of a digital intervention (based on the use of the Open Food Facts app) as a complement to the nutritional education provided by the Interception program.
Interventions
- Behavioral: educational workshop on nutrition + additional intervention on UPF tool and how to use it — Participants with WCRF score at baseline ≤ 5 will be randomized at 1:1 ratio between intervention group (educational workshop on nutrition + additional intervention on UPF tool and how to use it) and control group (educational workshop on nutrition only). Impact will be assessed at 12 weeks with the WCRF questionnaire.
Primary outcomes
- Proportion (%) of participants with at least 1-point improvement in the WCRF score (Week 12)
