Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Starbucks Strawberry & Vanilla Cream Croissant Bun
Starbucks Strawberry & Vanilla Cream Croissant Bun is assembled from 4 separately manufactured components. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains emulsifiers, flour treatment agents, acidity regulators, gelling agents, acids, preservatives and colours. 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.
Flour treatment agents
Strengthen dough so it handles and proves consistently at scale.
Acidity regulators
Hold the ph steady so flavour and shelf life stay consistent.
Gelling agents
Set a liquid into a gel so fillings and glazes hold their shape.
Acids
Sharpen flavour and lower the ph so the product keeps longer.
Preservatives
Slow the growth of moulds and yeasts so the product keeps longer.
Colours
Restore or standardise appearance after processing.

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.
