Boone calculates these percentages from Wetherspoon’s UK published nutrition data against UK Dietary Reference Values and NHS free sugar and salt limits. Free sugar, salt, calories and saturated fat are limits to stay under; fibre is a target to reach, so a high percentage there is a good thing. For guidance only.

Ultra-processed food: what is really in it
Processing and additives: Wetherspoon Mushroom Benedict
Wetherspoon Mushroom Benedict is assembled from 6 separately listed components, combined and cooked in the pub kitchen. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains colours, emulsifiers, flavourings, flour treatment agents, preservatives, raising agents and thickeners. These are not there to add nutritional value. They make industrial production and distribution possible.
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 seasoned margarine.
Flour treatment agents
Strengthen dough so it survives industrial mixing and baking. Found in the pre-sliced muffins.
Preservatives
Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the hollandaise sauce.
Raising agents
Release gas to make doughs and batters rise. Found in the pre-sliced muffins.
Thickeners
Give sauces and syrups the body they would otherwise lack. Found in the hollandaise sauce.
Boone classifies Wetherspoon Mushroom Benedict 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.

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.
