Processing and additives: Five Guys Oreo Shake

Five Guys Oreo Shake is assembled from 3 separately prepared components, combined and cooked at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains dextrose, emulsifiers, flavourings, glucose or glucose-fructose syrup, propellants, raising agents, stabilisers and starches. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Boone classifies Five Guys Oreo Shake 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.

What those ingredients are, by type

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.
