Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Caesar Salad

Effectively all 5.4g counts as free sugar, or about 1.4 teaspoons against the daily limit. Any naturally occurring sugar is too small to change the figure.

Free (added) sugars come from

  • dextrose, sugar, treacle in the Caesar salad

Naturally occurring sugars come from

  • lactose in the Caesar salad

NHS daily free sugar limits: 30g for adults and children 11+, 24g age 7 to 10, 19g age 4 to 6. Sources are read from the published ingredient list for each component. Whole fruit and lactose deductions are Boone estimates; Wetherspoon publishes total sugar only.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Caesar Salad

Wetherspoon Caesar Salad is made from a single bought-in component. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains dextrose, flavour enhancers and flavourings. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Dextrose

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the Caesar salad.

Flavour enhancers

Boost savoury taste so less of the real ingredient is needed. Found in the Caesar salad.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the Caesar salad.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Caesar Salad as NOVA group 4, ultra-processed, based on the industrial 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. Read from the published ingredient list, retrieved 3 October 2026.

Wetherspoon Caesar Salad contains at least 44 distinct ingredients: 32 raw and 12 manufactured. Ordered with a dip and a dessert that reaches 80, of which 30 are manufactured. Raw means something you could buy and cook with at home; manufactured means a substance that only exists as an output of industrial processing.

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.

How much saturated fat is in a Wetherspoon Caesar Salad?+
