Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Caffè Nero Gingerbread Biscuit
Caffè Nero Gingerbread Biscuit is made with a published list of at least 37 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers, acidity regulators, humectants, raising agents, colours, flavourings 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.
Acidity regulators
Hold the pH steady so flavour and shelf life stay consistent.
Humectants
Hold on to moisture so baked goods stay soft for longer.
Raising agents
Release gas during baking so the product rises consistently.
Colours
Restore or standardise appearance after processing.
Flavourings
Add or restore flavour that processing has taken away.
Glucose or glucose-fructose syrups
Industrial sweeteners that add sweetness and moisture cheaply.
Boone classifies Caffè Nero Gingerbread Biscuit 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.
