... “ultra-processed foods” - which the study’s authors define as “industrial formulations of five or more ingredients” - and higher body-fat percentages.
That's as clear as mud. What are "industrial" formulations and how do they differ from home made recipes which more often than not consist of more than five ingredients?

If you want to take a deep dive, this is the PNAS paper that the article is about:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2420902122#core-r29-1
And the following paper is referenced in the PNAS paper; it defines ultra-processed foods and is where the five ingredients and "industrialized" came from.
Industrial formulations typically with 5 or more and usually many ingredients. Besides salt, sugar, oils, and fats, ingredients of ultra-processed foods include food substances not commonly used in culinary preparations, such as hydrolyzed protein, modified starches, and hydrogenated or interesterified oils, and additives whose purpose is to imitate sensorial qualities of unprocessed or minimally processed foods and their culinary preparations or to disguise undesirable qualities of the final product, such as colorants, flavorings, nonsugar sweeteners, emulsifiers, humectants, sequestrants, and firming, bulking, de-foaming, anticaking, and glazing agents.
