NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Pret A Manger Coronation Chicken

Reading the ingredient list closely, Pret A Manger Coronation Chicken contains emulsifiers, colours and glucose or glucose-fructose syrup. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Emulsifiers

Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the malted wholegrain bread.

Colours

Restore or standardise appearance after processing. Found in the coronation mayonnaise.

Glucose or glucose-fructose syrup

Sweeten and control texture more cheaply than sugar alone. Found in the coronation mayonnaise.

Boone classifies Pret A Manger Coronation Chicken as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on Pret’s 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.

Pret A Manger Coronation Chicken contains at least 24 distinct ingredients: 18 raw and 6 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.

Ingredient count: Pret A Manger Coronation Chicken

The 6 manufactured ingredients

calcium carbonate, iron, niacin, thiamin, mono- and diacetyl tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, starter culture.

The 18 raw ingredients

wheat flour, water, malted wheat flakes, wheat bran, yeast, barley malt flour, salt, rapeseed oil, flour treatment agent, chicken, cucumber, coronation mayonnaise, spinach, onion, palm oil, butter, coriander, single cream.

Boone counts every distinct ingredient named in Pret’s published list, including those inside components such as bread or sauces, and removes duplicates, so salt appearing in several components counts once. Where an additive class is followed by a named substance, the substance is counted. Every figure here is a minimum.
