Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Starbucks Belgian Chocolate Chunk Cookie
Starbucks Belgian Chocolate Chunk Cookie is assembled from 10 separately manufactured components. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains emulsifiers and raising agents. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Emulsifiers
Keep fat and water mixed so the texture stays even and does not separate.
Raising agents
Release gas during baking so the crumb rises and stays open.
Boone classifies Starbucks Belgian Chocolate Chunk Cookie as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the ingredients 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.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on the Starbucks published component lists, including sub-ingredients, and removes duplicates, so milk appearing in three 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 water, coffee, milk, sugar and salt. Manufactured covers substances that only exist as an output of industrial processing. Figures are for the standard build; syrups, cold foams, whipped cream and drizzles added to order are not included. Retrieved 28 August 2026.
