Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Emmental Cheese Sauce

Wetherspoon Emmental Cheese Sauce is made from a single bought-in component. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains emulsifying salts, flavour enhancers, maltodextrin, modified starches and thickeners. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Emulsifying salts

Make processed cheese melt smoothly instead of separating. Found in the cheese sauce.

Flavour enhancers

Boost savoury taste so less of the real ingredient is needed. Found in the cheese sauce.

Maltodextrin

Bulk out a product and carry flavour, with little taste of its own. Found in the cheese sauce.

Modified starches

Thicken and hold water in a way unmodified flour cannot. Found in the cheese sauce.

Thickeners

Give sauces and syrups the body they would otherwise lack. Found in the cheese sauce.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Emmental Cheese 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 Emmental Cheese Sauce contains at least 20 distinct ingredients: 10 raw and 10 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.
