Introduction: Currently, the eating patterns of the population have changed both in changed countries and on development paths. This is due to the urbanization and globalization of markets, and as far as it is concerned, it has the replacement of traditional or minimally processed foods with ultra-processed foods in the daily diet. In addition, it has been shown that one of the most convenient means of acquiring these products is vending machines. Objective: Exploring the reasons for consuming ultra-processed products in vending machines in students from a private university in Lima. Methods: A qualitative study of phenomenological design. We were used 40 free guides, 18 in-depth interviews and 2 focus groups for university students over 18 using question guides. The sample was 66 people selected for convenience until reaching the saturation point. Results: The most consumed product of vending machines was spicy potato chips. The reasons for consuming ultra-processed products in vending machines were the taste, academic hours, proximity, accessibility, price, ease and speed. Also, it is evident that mood, such as stress, anxiety, sadness and depression influence the purchasing process of these products. Conclusion: Although the students know and have to receive the ultra-processed products, they are harmful to health, those who continue consuming mainly due to the taste, the academic schedule, the price, the accessibility and the speed towards them.
