Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Starbucks Chai Tea Latte (Tall, Coconut Milk)
Starbucks Chai Tea Latte (Tall, Coconut Milk) is assembled from 3 separately manufactured components. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains acidity regulators, stabilisers, acids and sweeteners. 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.
Stabilisers
Stop the mixture separating or settling over its shelf life.
Acids
Sharpen flavour and lower the ph so the product keeps longer.
Sweeteners
Provide sweetness in place of sugar, with little or no energy.
Boone classifies Starbucks Chai Tea Latte (Tall, Coconut Milk) 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.
