  • sugar in the Naga chilli marinade

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 Naga Chilli Dip

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

Flavour enhancers

Boost savoury taste so less of the real ingredient is needed. Found in the Naga chilli marinade.

Maltodextrin

Bulk out a product and carry flavour, with little taste of its own. Found in the Naga chilli marinade.

Modified starches

Thicken and hold water in a way unmodified flour cannot. Found in the Naga chilli marinade.

Preservatives

Slow the growth of bacteria, yeasts and moulds in centrally prepared components. Found in the Naga chilli marinade.

Thickeners

Give sauces and syrups the body they would otherwise lack. Found in the Naga chilli marinade.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Naga Chilli Dip 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 Naga Chilli Dip contains at least 29 distinct ingredients: 22 raw and 7 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.
