Adult daily reference intakes (Reference Intake, RI)

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Grilled Chicken Burger with Chips

Boone counts all 9g as free sugar, or about 2.2 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 burger bun
• dextrose in the chicken breast

Naturally occurring sugars come from

• sugars naturally present in the iceberg lettuce
• sugars naturally present in the red onion
• sugars naturally present in the tomato

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.

Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Grilled Chicken Burger with Chips

Wetherspoon Grilled Chicken Burger with Chips is assembled from 6 separately listed components, combined and cooked in the pub kitchen. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains colours, dextrose, emulsifiers, flavourings, flour treatment agents, hydrolysed or isolated proteins, modified starches, stabilisers and thickeners. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Grilled Chicken Burger with Chips 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.

What those ingredients are, by type

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.
