Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Starbucks Mexican Burrito Bowl
Starbucks Mexican Burrito Bowl is assembled from 16 separately manufactured components. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains acidity regulators, antioxidants and preservatives. 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.
Antioxidants
Stop fats turning rancid and colours fading on the shelf.
Preservatives
Slow the growth of moulds and yeasts so the product keeps longer.

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.
