Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing: Wagamama Chilli Squid

Boone cannot classify this item, because Wagamama does not publish an ingredient list for it.

NOVA classification is read from an ingredient list. Without one there is no way to count additives, separate raw ingredients from manufactured ones, or say whether an item is ultra-processed. Boone does not estimate a NOVA group, because a guess presented as a classification would be worse than saying nothing.

Classification is based on published ingredient lists only. If Wagamama publishes one, this section will be updated.

Ingredients

Wagamama does not publish an ingredient list in its allergen and nutrition guide

Ingredients: Wagamama Chilli Squid

The Wagamama UK allergen and nutrition guide gives nutrition figures for Wagamama Chilli Squid but no ingredients, and the chain is under no legal obligation to publish them.

Food made to order in a restaurant counts as non-prepacked under UK food law. The legal requirement is to declare the 14 major allergens, and for large businesses in England to show calories at the point of choice. A full ingredient list is voluntary. Some chains publish one anyway.

Without an ingredient list, no page on this site can tell you how many ingredients are in this item, how many of them are manufactured substances, or whether it is ultra-processed. Boone will not estimate any of it.

Allergen information for this item is published by Wagamama and is shown below. Recipes change, so always check in restaurant before ordering if you have an allergy.

Contains = declared as an ingredient in the Wagamama UK allergen guide (June 2026). May contain traces = Wagamama says the allergen is not added on purpose but cross-contamination can happen in manufacture, handling, transport, storage or cooking, including shared fryer oil. Not declared = not listed in that guide, which is not the same as allergen free. Wagamama asks anyone with a food allergy or intolerance to tell their server on every visit, and recipes change, so check before ordering.
