Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Caffè Nero Fruit Teacake

Caffè Nero Fruit Teacake is made with a published list of at least 30 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers, flour treatment agents, acidity regulators, preservatives, humectants and glucose or glucose-fructose syrups. 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.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of moulds and yeasts so the product keeps longer.

Humectants

Hold on to moisture so baked goods stay soft for longer.

Glucose or glucose-fructose syrups

Industrial sweeteners that add sweetness and moisture cheaply.

Boone classifies Caffè Nero Fruit Teacake as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the published ingredient list. NOVA groups foods by how far they are from their whole-food form, not by how nutritious they are. A group 4 food is not automatically unhealthy, and a group 1 food is not automatically healthy.
