  • fructose, glucose syrup, glucose-fructose in the smoky BBQ sauce
  • sugar in the Cool Mayo
  • sugar in the streaky bacon

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: McDonald's Crispy BBQ & Bacon Wrap

McDonald's Crispy BBQ & Bacon Wrap is assembled from 7 separately manufactured components, combined and cooked at the point of sale. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains acidity regulators, antioxidants, dextrose, emulsifiers, flavourings, glucose or glucose-fructose syrup, humectants, modified starches, preservatives, raising agents, stabilisers and thickeners. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Acidity regulators

Hold the ph steady so flavour and shelf life stay consistent. Found in the chicken selects.

Antioxidants

Slow the natural oxidation of fats, so components keep their colour and flavour. Found in the streaky bacon.

Dextrose

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the chicken selects.

Emulsifiers

Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the tortilla, streaky bacon.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the chicken selects, smoky BBQ sauce, streaky bacon.

Glucose or glucose-fructose syrup

Sweeten and control texture more cheaply than sugar alone. Found in the smoky BBQ sauce.

Humectants

Hold moisture so a product stays soft. Found in the tortilla.

Modified starches

Thicken and hold water in a way unmodified flour cannot. Found in the chicken selects, smoky BBQ sauce, Cool Mayo.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the smoky BBQ sauce, Cool Mayo, streaky bacon.

Raising agents

Make doughs and batters rise without a long ferment. Found in the tortilla, chicken selects.

Stabilisers

Stop mixtures separating and hold texture during storage and transport. Found in the tortilla, chicken selects, Cool Mayo.

Thickeners

Give sauces and syrups the body they would otherwise lack. Found in the Cool Mayo.

Boone classifies McDonald's Crispy BBQ & Bacon 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, 17-18 August 2026.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on McDonald’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 (guar gum)” counts guar gum once. 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. Where McDonald’s lists more than one approved supplier recipe only the primary one is counted, so every figure here is a minimum. The build uses a Sweet and Sour dip.
