Here’s how useless the term “processed food” is when it come to health: Canned and frozen vegetables are considered a processed food. Milk, cheese, and bread are also processed foods.
There is a distinct difference in food science between processed food (anything that has been cut, or undergone any kind of process) and ultra-processed food (made of many different ingredients, many of which cannot be found in an ordinary kitchen, and undergone multiple processes). While the term is not perfect, it is still useful when talking in general terms.
The second you take a cut of meat and grind it into, well, ground meat, it is ‘processed’.
That’s a really extreme take of that term. Normally, processed food means like, sugar cereal and biscuits; not frozen spinach pucks and tofu. Just because it’s a loose fuzzy term instead of a formal scientific definition doesn’t make it useless
