Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Freedom Breakfast
Wetherspoon Freedom Breakfast is assembled from 7 separately listed components, combined and cooked in the pub kitchen. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains antioxidants, colours, emulsifiers, flavourings and preservatives. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
Antioxidants
Slow the natural oxidation of fats, so components keep their colour and flavour. Found in the cooked back bacon.
Colours
Restore or standardise appearance after processing. Found in the seasoned margarine.
Emulsifiers
Help oil-based and water-based ingredients blend and stay blended. Found in the seasoned margarine.
Flavourings
Add or restore taste lost during processing. Found in the hash browns, seasoned margarine and vegan baked beans.
Preservatives
Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the cooked back bacon.
Boone classifies Wetherspoon Freedom Breakfast 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 Freedom Breakfast contains at least 29 distinct ingredients: 16 raw and 13 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.
