Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Pret A Manger Ginger Shot
Reading the ingredient list closely, Pret A Manger Ginger Shot contains antioxidants. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Antioxidants
Slow the natural oxidation of fats, so components keep their colour and flavour. Found in the antioxidant: ascorbic acid.
Boone classifies Pret A Manger Ginger Shot 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 Ginger Shot contains at least 3 distinct ingredients: 2 raw and 1 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 Ginger Shot
The 1 manufactured ingredients
antioxidant: ascorbic acid.
The 2 raw ingredients
apple juice, ginger juice.
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.
