Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Chip Shop-Style Curry Sauce
Wetherspoon Chip Shop-Style Curry Sauce is made from a single bought-in component. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains flavour enhancers, flavourings and modified starches. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Flavour enhancers
Boost savoury taste so less of the real ingredient is needed. Found in the curry sauce.
Flavourings
Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the curry sauce.
Modified starches
Thicken and hold water in a way unmodified flour cannot. Found in the curry sauce.
Boone classifies Wetherspoon Chip Shop-Style Curry Sauce 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 Chip Shop-Style Curry Sauce contains at least 34 distinct ingredients: 30 raw and 4 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.
