The Claim
A 10% increase in ultra-processed food consumption is associated with an 11% higher risk of breast cancer (HR=1.11, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.21) in observational human studies.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating more ultra-processed foods, like packaged snacks or ready meals, might raise your chance of getting breast cancer by 11% for every 10% increase in how much you eat.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Ultra-processed food consumption and cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
The study looked at how eating more ultra-processed foods affects cancer risk and found that a 10% increase in these foods raises breast cancer risk by 11%, which matches the claim exactly.
