Wetherspoon BBQ Chicken Pizza (8") is assembled from 8 separately listed components, combined and cooked in the pub kitchen. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains antioxidants, dextrose, flavourings, stabilisers and thickeners. These are not there to add nutritional value.

Dextrose
A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the chicken breast.
Flavourings
Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the classic BBQ sauce.
Stabilisers
Stop mixtures separating and hold texture during storage and transport. Found in the chicken breast.
Thickeners
Give sauces and syrups the body they would otherwise lack. Found in the chicken breast and classic BBQ sauce.

Boone counts every distinct named ingredient on Wetherspoon’s published component lists, including sub-ingredients, and removes duplicates, so salt appearing in four components counts once. Additive class names are dropped and the named substance kept, so “stabiliser (guar gum)” counts guar gum once, and the vitamins and minerals added to fortified flour are not counted separately. Raw covers whole foods and basic kitchen staples such as flour, sugar, salt and oil. Manufactured covers substances that only exist as an output of industrial processing. Where Wetherspoon lists more than one approved supplier recipe only the first is counted, so every figure here is a minimum. The build uses a garlic and herb dip and a warm chocolate brownie with ice cream.
