Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Five Guys Lettuce Wrap

Five Guys Lettuce Wrap is assembled from 7 separately prepared components, combined and cooked at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains acidity regulators, firming agents and flavourings. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Acidity regulators

Control acidity so colour, flavour and shelf life stay stable. Found in the pickles, grilled mushrooms.

Firming agents

Keep processed vegetables crisp after packing. Found in the pickles.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the pickles.

Boone classifies Five Guys Lettuce Wrap as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the additives named above. 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. Read from the published ingredient list in the Five Guys UK allergen, ingredient and nutrition guide (5 August 2026).

A Five Guys Lettuce Wrap contains at least 16 distinct ingredients: 11 raw and 5 manufactured. Raw means something you could buy and cook with at home; manufactured means a substance that only exists as an output of industrial processing.

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.
