Ultra-processed food: what is really in it

Wetherspoon Stem Ginger Biscuits is made from a single bought-in component. Reading the ingredient list closely, it contains raising agents. Most of these are routine processing aids rather than markers of ultra-processing.
Raising agents
Release gas to make doughs and batters rise. Found in the stem ginger biscuits.
Boone classifies Wetherspoon Stem Ginger Biscuits 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.

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.
