Wetherspoon Poppadums and Dips: calories and sugar by portion, age and sex

Nutrition information: Wetherspoon Poppadums and Dips

Nutrition figures are Wetherspoon’s UK published data, per dish as served. Wetherspoon rounds grams to whole numbers, so Boone works fat, saturates, carbohydrate, sugars, protein and salt back from the published reference intake percentages to one decimal place. Fibre is shown as published. Wetherspoon’s UK feed gives a salt figure here several times higher than the same item in its Irish feed and out of line with the calories, so Boone uses the Irish salt figure.

Adult daily reference intakes (Reference Intake, RI)

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Poppadums and Dips

Boone counts all 27g as free sugar, or about 6.8 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

• sugar in the mango chutney

Naturally occurring sugars come from

• 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 Poppadums and Dips

Wetherspoon Poppadums and Dips lists no additives or industrial ingredients in its published components.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Poppadums and Dips 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.

Ingredient count by order: Wetherspoon Poppadums and Dips

The 1 manufactured ingredient

spicesginger powder/red chilli / garlic powder.

The 10 raw ingredients

black gram flour, coconut oil, coriander, mango, red onion, rice flour, salt, sugar, sugar cane vinegar, tomato.

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.
