Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Children's Beans on Toast

Boone counts all 2.5g as free sugar, or about 0.6 teaspoons against the daily limit. Some of it will come from the vegetables listed below, but Wetherspoon does not publish a split, so treat the free sugar figure as an upper estimate.

Free (added) sugars come from

  • dextrose, sugar in the white bloomer bread

Naturally occurring sugars come from

  • lactose in the utterly butterly
  • sugars naturally present in the vegan baked beans

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.

Colours

Restore or standardise appearance after processing. Found in the utterly butterly.

Dextrose

A simple sugar used for browning, bulk and mild sweetness. Found in the white bloomer bread.

Emulsifiers

Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the utterly butterly.

Flavourings

Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the utterly butterly and vegan baked beans.

Hydrolysed or isolated proteins

Proteins broken down or extracted industrially to add savoury flavour or texture. Found in the white bloomer bread.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the utterly butterly.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Children's Beans on Toast 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 Children's Beans on Toast contains at least 54 distinct ingredients: 31 raw and 23 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.
