Free sugar vs total sugar

Where the sugar comes from: Wetherspoon Small Bowl of Chips

None of the 1.8g counts as free sugar. No sugar, syrup or honey is added in any component, so all of it comes from naturally occurring sources such as milk, fruit and vegetables.

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 Small Bowl of Chips

Wetherspoon Small Bowl of Chips is made from a single bought-in component. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains colours and modified starches. 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 homefries chips.

Modified starches

Thicken and hold water in a way unmodified flour cannot. Found in the homefries chips.

Boone classifies Wetherspoon Small Bowl of 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. Read from the published ingredient list, retrieved 3 October 2026.

Wetherspoon Small Bowl of Chips contains at least 9 distinct ingredients: 5 raw and 4 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.
