Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Caffè Nero Sticky Toffee Muffin

Caffè Nero Sticky Toffee Muffin is made with a published list of at least 43 distinct ingredients. Reading it closely, it contains emulsifiers, acidity regulators, gelling agents, preservatives, raising agents, colours, flavourings, glucose or glucose-fructose syrups and modified starches. 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.

Gelling agents

Set a liquid into a gel so fillings and glazes hold their shape.

Preservatives

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

Modified starches

Starches altered to thicken and stabilise under heat and storage.

Boone classifies Caffè Nero Sticky Toffee Muffin 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.
