Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Caffè Nero Almond Croissant
Caffè Nero Almond Croissant is made with a published list of at least 22 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers, flour treatment agents, acidity regulators and flavourings. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Emulsifiers
Keep fat and water mixed so the texture stays even and does not separate.
Flour treatment agents
Strengthen dough so it handles and proves consistently at scale.
Acidity regulators
Hold the pH steady so flavour and shelf life stay consistent.
Flavourings
Add or restore flavour that processing has taken away.
Boone classifies Caffè Nero Almond Croissant as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the published ingredient list.
