Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Margherita Pizza (8")

Effectively all 3.6g counts as free sugar, or about 0.9 teaspoons against the daily limit. Any naturally occurring sugar is too small to change the figure.

Free (added) sugars come from

  • sugar in the pizza sauce
  • sugar in the sourdough pizza

Naturally occurring sugars come from

  • lactose in the diced mozzarella

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.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Margherita Pizza (8")

Wetherspoon Margherita Pizza (8") is assembled from 5 separately listed components, combined and cooked in the pub kitchen. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains antioxidants. Most of these are routine processing aids rather than markers of ultra-processing.

Antioxidants

Slow the natural oxidation of fats, so components keep their colour and flavour. Found in the sourdough pizza.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Margherita Pizza (8") as NOVA group 3, processed, because it combines whole foods with salt, sugar, oil or simple preserving methods but no markers of ultra-processing. 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 Margherita Pizza (8") contains at least 18 distinct ingredients: 15 raw and 3 manufactured. Ordered with a dip and a dessert that reaches 56, of which 22 are 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. The build uses a garlic and herb dip and a warm chocolate brownie with ice cream.
