Boone classifies Five Guys Cajun Style Fries (Large) as NOVA group 3, processed, because it is a whole food cooked with oil and salt, or contains only preservatives and acidity regulators, rather than the cosmetic additives that mark a food as ultra-processed.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on Five Guys’s published component lists, including sub-ingredients, and removes duplicates, so salt appearing in four components counts once. Additive class names are dropped and the named substance kept, so “stabiliser (xanthan gum)” counts xanthan gum once. Vitamins and minerals added to flour by law are not counted. Raw covers whole foods and basic kitchen staples such as flour, sugar, salt and oil. Manufactured covers substances that only exist as an output of industrial processing.
